Rep. Musa Bility has officially become the political leader of the new Citizens Movement for Change party. He has pledged to combat corruption and promote accountability, following his resignation from the Liberty Party due to differing visions. Bility’s leadership faced significant challenges that contributed to party fragmentation.
Rep. Musa Hassan Bility has been sworn in as the political leader of the newly established Citizens Movement for Change (CMC) party in Liberia. Bility, serving as the representative for Nimba County District 7 and chairman of the Rule of Law Legislative Caucus, emphasized his commitment to combatting corruption in his inauguration speech.
He vowed to exert all efforts to address corruption, which he regards as a critical issue for the nation. His vision includes fostering a new governance era focused on transparency, accountability, and advancing national development.
Bility previously served as the chairman of the Liberty Party (LP) but resigned last year, citing a lack of alignment with the party’s vision. His resignation was seen as a political gesture intended to promote reconciliation within the party.
During his time at the LP, Bility’s leadership faced significant challenges, including internal disputes that led to the expulsion of key members, Senators Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence and Darius Dilion. These conflicts ultimately resulted in a factional split within the party.
Rep. Musa Bility’s ascension as the leader of the Citizens Movement for Change symbolizes a new direction in his political career, characterized by a strong commitment to tackling corruption and promoting governance reform. His past experiences with the Liberty Party highlight the challenges of party politics in Liberia, while his pledges aim to instigate meaningful change for national development.
