Nyei said in a statement that the campaign is on an unstoppable path and irreversible course.

The Liberian government announced in June this year that it would contest for the UNSC non-permanent seat.

Elections will be held at the UN headquarters in New York in June 2025.

Nyie also moved to address recent media reports suggesting that Liberia had lost the bid to Somalia, calling then misleading and inaccurate.

“Our campaign is for the 2026-2027 seat, not the 2025-2026 seat. We are fully prepared, and we are winning this seat,” he said.

Liberia’s candidacy has been formally endorsed by the Economic Community of West African States and the African Union.

With 193 member countries in the UN, Liberia will need approximately 128 votes to secure the non-permanent seat on the Security Council.

“We are in an excellent position, and our diplomatic engagements have been yielding positive results,” he said.
