CDC Given 7 Days to Vacate Headquarters or Face Eviction

Monrovia, Liberia: The Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has been issued a final demand to vacate the property currently housing its national headquarters by June 10, 2025, or face eviction proceedings.

According to a formal communication dated June 2, addressed to CDC’s National Chairman Atty. Janga A. Kowo, the property owner, through legal counsel Cllr. Johnny Momoh, has declared the party’s continued tenancy “undesirable” and is demanding that the premises be turned over peacefully.

This development follows a May 28, 2025, ruling from the Supreme Court, which dismissed a Bill of Information filed by CDC’s legal team. The motion aimed to block a lower court from enforcing a 2016 Supreme Court judgment that mandates CDC’s removal from the premises. The Court’s latest decision effectively clears the way for the enforcement of that earlier judgment.

The property in question spans approximately 4.23 acres and has been home to the CDC for several years. In the letter, the property owner warns that failure to comply with the June 10 deadline will trigger legal action to reclaim the land, including summary proceedings to recover possession, demand for accrued rent estimated at $100,000 per year, and claims for damages due to what is being described as “wrongful withholding” of the property.

As of press time, CDC’s leadership has not responded to the notice. The property owner, however, has expressed hope that the matter can be resolved peacefully to avoid further litigation.

Our Judicial Correspondent reports that all eyes are now on CDC’s next move as the June 10 deadline rapidly approaches.
