Vice President Jeremiah Koung recounted a tense moment with former President George Weah during a visit to the late Senator Prince Yormie Johnson’s home. Weah’s refusal to shake Koung’s hand has raised speculation about lingering tensions from the recent presidential election. Koung suggested that former grievances should not impede current governance and encouraged Weah to focus on future presidential aspirations.

In Gbarnga, Vice President Jeremiah Koung recently revealed an uncomfortable interaction with former President George Weah at the home of the late Senator Prince Yormie Johnson. This happened shortly after the Senator’s passing, marking Koung’s first visit to the United States since taking office. During an interview, he recounted being surprised when Weah declined to shake his hand when he welcomed him.

Vice President Koung shared that his expectations of cordiality quickly shifted after reaching out to greet Weah. He had earlier extended condolences to the Johnson family and greeted former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who joined him at the residence. However, upon Weah’s arrival, he felt snubbed when the former president ignored his hand and also declined to shake hands with other prominent guests.

Koung initially thought Weah’s refusal was related to concerns about health precautions but noted Weah’s willingness to engage with other attendees. He speculated that this tension might reflect residual feelings following the recent presidential election, where he served as the running mate to Unity Party candidate Joseph Boakai. Koung articulated, “If you’re hurt because of my support to the Unity Party, then you have five years to be hurt because I’m now the Vice President.”

He further emphasized that criticism regarding his political alignment should not overshadow their current positions, encouraging Weah to focus on the future: “If you still want to be president, wait for 2029 and stop being so hurt because I supported the Unity Party.”

In conclusion, Vice President Jeremiah Koung’s account of his encounter with former President George Weah reveals the underlying complexities within Liberia’s political landscape. The refusal of Weah to shake hands signifies a possible rift stemming from the recent electoral climate. Koung’s statements advocate for a forward-looking approach, highlighting the need for reconciliation and collaboration among the nation’s leadership.
