The Liberia National Red Cross Society (LNRCS) has reelected Jerome Clarke as President.

Clarke was reelected at the body’s general assembly, which is the highest decision-making arm of the Liberian Red Cross, according to a statement from LNRCS.

Others elected included Western Region Vice President, Charles Kpan, Southeastern Region Vice President, Joseph Nagbe, and Central Region Vice President, Mongar Grigsby.

Reacting to his reelection, Clarke said he will work towards improving the Red Cross and ensure stability for the future.

‘Our new thinking includes strengthening our resource mobilisation in a diverse and unique way, professionalising our membership base and volunteer network, pushing for new partnership and seeking new support, engaging and exploring to new innovations and creativities’, he said.

‘Today we are grateful that the confidence has been reposed in us to stir the affairs for the LNRCS for the next four years and therefore we will be robust in consolidating the gains and sustaining the national society in moving forward’.

It was gathered that reports of progress and challenges of the national society were submitted, viewed, and adopted during the general assembly.

It is understood that in Liberia, the ICRC promotes detainee welfare, provides water and sanitation, supports the Liberian National Red Cross Society, and promotes international humanitarian law.

In addition, the organisation supports Ivorians who have fled violence in their own country and the Liberians hosting them.
