Having failed presidential and vice presidential bids in 2005 and 2011 respectively, retired football legend George M. Weah, leader of the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has finally decided to vie in the mid-term senatorial elections scheduled 2014.
"Yes, Mr. Weah would be a candidate in the 2014 mid-term senatorial elections," CDC Secretary General Nathaniel McGee confirmed here Wednesday night when contacted via mobile phone.
Speculations have been rife that Mr. Weah whose presidential quest remains undiminished following his defeat to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in 2005, would run in the mid-term election.
Political observers believe that Weah's chances for the Montserrado County senatorial seat could be high if he runs.
But others described as mundane his belated intention to run for the senate seat of the country's most populous county.

Though belated, his decision to run in the 2014 mid-term senatorial elections is a good step and that could prepare him for the future challenge of leading our great nation, Liberia, as a president.
Democrat look for something to write about and leave George alone. If you lack stories, contact Tom to help you. You know the history of the past two elections it is nothing to argue about. Please don't jealous Oppong because he will never be your equal. You paid Journalists are in the habit of writing rubbish as soon you received dollars from your sponsors.
How more could the author of this article describe Amb. Weah's defeat in the past elections? Is there any other way to write this story?
Personally, I don't see any wrong in this article "Having failed presidential and vice presidential bids in 2005 and 2011 respectively, retired football legend George M. Weah, leader of the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has finally decided to vie in the mid-term senatorial elections scheduled 2014."
People need to be more realistic than blind loyalists. Amb. Weah failed in his quest to become President and Vice President in the 2005 and 2011 elections respectively. That failure has now become his challenge and motivation to prepare for the future challenge.
People need to be issue oriented than sentimental.
Amb. Weah is a good citizen, he is getting there gradually. He is now treading the path. He will get there someday.
That was the best way to describe the outcome of his attempts. We all love Amb. Weah.
This ongoing notion that Weah has the leadership gravitas to be president, is a fallacy. He has never held any position to lead, motivate, and empower any private or governmental organization. His acceptance of Peace Ambassador, is just another example of his lack of credibility, and grasp of the political landscape. He is not qualified, fit, or ready to serve as president. He is solely driven by greed; to recoup the fortune he once had. Ellen knows that he has no money, so she offered him this silly position to shut his mouth. Stop this Weah for president ridiculous nonsense.
