The Liberty Party has entered the new year with a renewed sense of purpose, unity, and strategic direction, according to its National Chairperson, Representative Rugie Yatu Barry. In a New Year message, Barry outlined the party’s achievements in 2025, describing it as a defining chapter in the party’s history marked by reconciliation, institutional reform, and a renewed commitment to democratic principles.
The party’s progress is attributed to the leadership of Senator Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, who has rebuilt internal cohesion, strengthened grassroots structures, and restored confidence in the party’s vision for transparent and accountable governance. Barry emphasized that the party is focused on consolidating its gains and expanding its reach, with a mission to ensure that the voices of ordinary Liberians remain central to governance.
The party’s 2026 agenda includes intensifying engagement with like-minded institutions, civil society organizations, and community-based groups to amplify citizen participation. It will also pursue robust policy advocacy centered on legislative reform, fiscal integrity, decentralization, and economic empowerment. The party’s milestones in 2025 included a Special National Convention, which adopted a new party constitution, elected new leadership, and renewed the party’s sense of unity.
The party also commemorated International Women’s Day, celebrating its commitment to women’s leadership and gender equity. The 20th Anniversary of the party’s founding was marked with the unveiling of the portrait of its founding father, the late Cllr. Charles Walker Brumskine, and the launch of new youth and women’s platforms. The party’s nationwide restructuring process has strengthened county chapters, modernized administrative systems, and introduced monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
The party’s education empowerment initiatives, including the LP Scholarship 2025 program, have supported over 200 grassroots members pursuing higher education and vocational training. The year concluded with nationwide Christmas celebrations, reinforcing the party’s image as a people-centered institution. As the party enters 2026, it does so with renewed confidence, strengthened institutions, and a clear vision to advance policies that empower citizens and deepen Liberia’s democratic culture.
