Vice President Jeremiah Koung Discusses Tense Encounter with Former President Weah

Vice President Jeremiah Koung shared an awkward encounter with former President George Weah during a visit to the late Senator Johnson’s home. Koung felt snubbed when Weah declined to shake his hand, which he later attributed to possible lingering dissatisfaction from Koung’s political support in the recent elections. The Vice President expressed that the relationship dynamics must evolve over time as both continue in their political paths.

In a recent interview, Vice President Jeremiah Koung recounted a tense encounter with former President George Weah at the residence of late Senator Prince Yormie Johnson. This meeting took place shortly after the senator’s passing, during which Koung was surprised by Weah’s refusal to shake his hand upon his arrival, despite having arrived early to convey his condolences to the family.

Koung mentioned that he had welcomed former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf before Weah’s arrival, and approached Weah’s vehicle to extend a handshake. However, the former president, alongside Rep. Samuel Kogar, declined the gesture. Koung initially thought Weah’s refusal might be due to health precautions, yet he noted Weah shook hands with other attendees, intensifying the peculiar situation.

Koung suggested that the tension may originate from unresolved feelings related to the 2023 presidential election, where he served as the running mate to Unity Party candidate Joseph Boakai. He expressed that, although there might be lingering dissatisfaction due to his political stance, there is a long duration until the next election in 2029 for their political relationship to evolve. Furthermore, Koung asserted, “If you still want to be president, wait for 2029 and stop being so hurt because I supported the Unity Party. Just how you wanted to remain as president, I, too, Jeremiah Koung, wanted to be a vice president.”

This encounter underscores the ongoing tensions in Liberian politics, particularly following the 2023 elections. Vice President Koung’s reflections reveal the complexities of political relationships, especially amidst changes in leadership roles. His comments also highlight the emotional dimensions underpinning political dynamics as Liberia moves forward toward future elections.
