The Former Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary General to South Sudan, Madam Sara Beysolow Nyanti has expressed delight over her nomination as the standard bearer of the African Liberation League (ALL), to contest as a presidential candidate in the upcoming October 10 elections.
Madam Nyanti was nominated by ALL, a newly established political party as its political leader and standard bearer recently in Kakata, Margibi County.
Addressing a landmark conference at the party’s national headquarters in Congo Town, she said after serving the UN in many countries in several capacities, she honorably retired and was glad to return home to serve her people.
“I am here because I want to serve you, the Liberian people. I served others around the world, I served women around the world, I served men and I served boys, and I want to serve you to the fullest of my ability.
“I have been serving you in a packet. I believe if I join my effort to the effort of the people around this table, and the network we have planted in this country, together we can reach you where you are, understand what you need, how you would like to be served and serve you in that way,” she said.
Madam Nyanti, once an official at the Liberian Ministry of Health, joined the UN System in 2003. By the time she retired 20 years later, she had worked her way through and served in some of the high-profile positions within the UN.
She said: “Thank you all for being a part of my journey in so many ways,’ Beysolow. I have seen so much. I have been to so many places. You see the glory, but you do not know the story. I have been working as a Liberian doing the best I can for the people of the world. I have been helping women and girls around the world. I realized that I needed to come home to help women and girls in Liberia. I have spent time talking and building education and health systems around the world, it is time to talk about my own.’’
