Monrovia- May 30, 2025: As Liberia gears up to contest for a non permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, former President George Weah has officially thrown his support behind the country’s historic bid, joining millions of Liberians rallying behind the effort.

The critical vote is scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, 2025. In anticipation, the current administration is working to unify support across all sectors of society, including opposition leaders, civil society, and political parties.

Speaking during an interview with Spoon on Thursday evening, former Foreign Minister Dee-Maxwell Kemayah revealed that President Weah had long been a quiet supporter of the initiative and has now made his endorsement public.

“Former President George Weah has overwhelmingly and wholeheartedly endorsed Liberia’s bid for a seat on the UN Security Council,” Kemayah stated.

He further disclosed that Weah has been actively engaging with other African leaders to rally continental support for Liberia’s candidacy. Kemayah also noted that the initiative to seek a Security Council seat began under Weah’s administration, and the former president remains committed to seeing it through.

“This is a vision he helped launched,” Kemayah added. “He has no intention of abandoning it.”
