Monrovia, Liberia – April 24, 2025:
Dr. Clarence Moniba and the Liberian National Union (LINU) commend the Honorable Supreme Court of Liberia for its decisive, timely, and principled ruling regarding the ongoing leadership dispute in the House of Representatives. This ruling, rooted firmly in constitutional authority and legal precedent, brings clarity and guidance at a moment when the rule of law is under visible strain. 

LINU affirms that democracy in Liberia must remain anchored in the Constitution and governed by laws—not swayed by political expediency or shifting alliances. The Court’s opinion reasserts that no individual or group is above the Constitution, which remains, as stated in Article 2, “the supreme and fundamental law of Liberia.” 

Accordingly, LINU strongly advises Representative Richard Koon and the so-called “Majority Bloc” to ensure that any efforts to alter the leadership of the House comply fully with Article 49 of the Liberian Constitution and other relevant provisions guiding legislative procedure. Disregard for due process not only undermines institutional legitimacy but risks plunging the nation into constitutional chaos.

Dr. Moniba emphasized: 
“This is not just about procedure it’s about principle. Liberia’s institutions must be protected from actions that threaten the foundation of our democracy. We cannot allow the rule of law to be circumvented in favor of political power plays. We must demonstrate that the judiciary is not only the final arbiter of disputes but a cornerstone of peace and national integrity.”

LINU calls for the immediate and unwavering compliance with the Supreme Court’s decision. All public officials must show respect for the Court’s jurisdiction, as mandated by Article 66 of the Constitution, which grants the Supreme Court final authority in all constitutional matters.

In this critical moment for Liberia’s democratic maturity, LINU urges all political leaders and citizens to place peace, constitutional order, and national interest above personal ambition or partisan gains. 

The independence and credibility of the Liberian judiciary must be safeguarded at all costs. True leadership is demonstrated not in defiance, but in accountability, humility, and adherence to the law.

LINU remains resolute in its mission to stand with the Liberian people in defense of justice, democracy, and the rule of law. The future of our Republic depends on it”
