Liberia: Charlyne Brumskine Backs Nyonblee

What the report says

Cllr. Charlyne M. Brumskine-Dennis, daughter of late Liberty Party founder Charles Walker Brumskine, has publicly endorsed Senate President Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence in Liberia, urging her to continue the political legacy associated with her family and the party. According to The New Dawn, Brumskine-Dennis made the remarks over the weekend at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new Liberty Party headquarters in Grand Bassa County, a symbolic location because the party was founded there.

Brumskine-Dennis said she was preparing to step away from active partisan politics because of an appointment to the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, which she said would take her to Nigeria. She told supporters that the move represented both a personal honor and a chance to serve Liberia and Grand Bassa County at the regional level. She also praised Karnga-Lawrence for helping to guide the Liberty Party through internal disputes and for bringing rival factions back together.

The comments also carried a broader political message about party unity and county pride. Brumskine-Dennis urged residents of Grand Bassa to support Karnga-Lawrence and to take ownership of the party’s future, while emphasizing that the Liberty Party is a national organization rather than one limited to one county. She also said her family would contribute an initial US$10,000 toward the headquarters project. The report suggests the endorsement matters because it links the Brumskine family legacy, party reconciliation, and the LP’s efforts to strengthen its presence ahead of future politics.
