Inside Speaker Koffa’s Bloc, There Are Unresolved Debates Amid Calls for Resignation

The Speaker Bloc gathered recently at the residence of Ellen Attoh Wreh, joined by Speaker Fonati Koffa, to address pressing concerns about the Speaker’s leadership. However, the anticipated decision regarding his resignation remained unresolved.

Sources close to the discussions revealed a significant shift in the political dynamic. Representative Moima Briggs Mensah, a prominent member of the Bloc, announced her departure from the group during the meeting. Aligning with the majority, she openly called on Speaker Chambers to resign, a move that sparked intense discussions but failed to yield a unified stance.

Despite these internal rifts, the Speaker Bloc reaffirmed its commitment to following the legal process in addressing the matter. The group appears determined to resolve the issue through constitutional means, even as the political atmosphere grows increasingly charged.

Representative Briggs Mensah, now allied with the majority, is set to speak to the press today. Her comments will likely shed more light on her decision to part ways with the Bloc and intensify discussions about Speaker Chambers’ future.

This development highlights the growing pressure within Liberia’s legislative body. The coming days may determine whether the Speaker Bloc can maintain its influence or whether shifting alliances will pave the way for significant political change.
