An estimated 10,000 citizens, predominantly women in Soul Clinic F-Sham community, Electoral District #4, Montserrado County, have endorsed the Presidential bid of Mr. Alexander B. Cummings, Standard Bearer of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP).
The endorsement ceremony, organized by a group of women, under the banner W-Force Women for Cummings, attracted hundreds of women, girls, and first-time voters from across all 17 districts of Montserrado.
The 'W-Force Women for Cummings' is an independent movement that cuts across various women's organizations, communities, schools, professionals, civic society, and interest groups, committed to mobilizing women, girls and men, nationwide to vote Cummings as the next President of Liberia.
A spokesperson for the movement is upbeat about the professional integrity, qualifications, and competence of the CPP Candidate, who he describes as the best contestant to effect changes in Liberia.

The former corporate executive who worked with Coca-Cola in the United States with wealth of experience, thanked the 'W-Force Women for Cummings' for the massive mobilization of women, girls, men, and first-time voters, pledging that he will not disappoint them or dash their hopes for a better Liberia.
