Following his overwhelming victory and subsequent induction as Vice President of the LNBA, Counselor Sillah extended profound gratitude to his fellow lawyers for reposing confidence in him to assume the responsibility as Vice President of the nation's most outstanding legal organization.

He promised to be industrious in the execution of his duties as Vice President, working with all members of the leadership to ensure the success of the LNBA.

Counselor Sillah assured his colleagues of absolute accountability and collaboration.

The newly elected Vice President also called on his contender, Counselor Tomah, to work closely with him and the leadership for the betterment of the Bar.

The Vice Presidency of the Liberia National Bar Association became vacant following the resignation of former President Counselor Varmah, whose Vice President, F. Juah Lawson, ascended to the Presidency.

Her ascendancy as President of the LNBA created the vacancy and the subsequent election to fill the esteemed portfolio within the organization.

Despite opposition from some members of the Liberia National Bar Association who described the election as unconstitutional, the election of Counselor Abrahim Sillah has now completed the LNBA leadership.

The newly elected Vice President is expected to work closely with his colleagues on the LNBA leadership to advance the organization's interests.

Hundreds of members who participated in the extraordinary assembly described the process as free, fair, and transparent.

They stressed the need for absolute unity among legal practitioners, particularly lawyers, believing that unity is a critical tool for the institution's vibrancy and genuine success.
