MONROVIA – The National Movement for Real Change (NMRC) has reaffirmed its unequivocal support for the administration of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai and Vice President Jeremiah Koung, declaring that the government’s performance has strengthened the movement’s confidence in Liberia’s national direction.
Speaking Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Unity Party Homecoming in Congo Town, NMRC National Chairman Victor Saye recounted the movement’s political journey and said its continued alignment with the Unity Party–led government is rooted in principles and a renewed belief in national progress.
Saye recalled that by 2021—well ahead of the 2023 elections—the movement had begun experiencing “disappointment from unfair promises and contradictions” within the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), the political grouping it once belonged to. By 2022, he said, the CDC had “drifted from its mandate,” prompting the NMRC to withdraw.
“With dignity and truth, we withdrew from the CDC and established this movement to help opposition parties restore hope in the Republic of Liberia,” Saye said. “Our loyalty has always been to Liberia first.”
He described 2023 as the NMRC’s defining moment, when the movement endorsed then-candidate Boakai and running mate Koung during the presidential runoff, driven by a desire for “clean, disciplined, and purposeful leadership.”
“Two years later, we stand proudly with no regrets,” Saye declared. “Mr. President, your leadership surprised us—not with noise, but with direction; not with intimidation, but with integrity; not with confusion, but with national purpose.”
Saye noted that the movement’s 119,000 registered members across Montserrado, Margibi, Grand Bassa, Bong, Nimba, Grand Gedeh, and other counties “stand firmly” with the administration, praising its commitment to transparency, accountability, and development-focused governance.
“We are not disappointed in this government. We remain confident. We remain committed,” he said. “We believe your intentions are right, your direction is strong, and your dedication to the people is unquestionable.”

He emphasized that the movement is not seeking positions, political rewards, or favors, but is focused on helping the administration deliver for Liberians.
“The National Movement for Real Change is not here for positions. We are not here for favors,” Saye said. “We are here to help this government succeed—because when the government succeeds, the people succeed.”
In his closing remarks, Saye reaffirmed the movement’s loyalty to President Boakai, Vice President Koung, and the people of Liberia.
“Today, before Liberia and before history, we reaffirm our commitment,” he said. “The journey may be long, the road may be rough, but together, we will rise again. We are here to stay. We are here to stand. We are here to help Liberia rise again.”
