His arrival, nevertheless, comes underneath the shadow of intensifying rumors of a looming plot to unseat him as Deputy Speaker of the Home of Representatives.
The timing has not gone unnoticed. Political observers say Fallah’s journey with the President could also be extra than simply diplomatic obligation; it might be a calculated present of energy amid the mounting marketing campaign to edge him out of one of many nation’s strongest legislative posts.

But again dwelling, the actual battle is political survival. The massive query stays whether or not his presence in Boakai’s inside circle on the UNGA defend him from the axe or will it solely delay the inevitable?
For now, all eyes are on Capitol Hill, the place alliances are shifting quick, and the Deputy Speakership hangs by a thread.
