The opposition Congress for Democratic Change has announced the formation of a grand coalition of eight political parties ahead of the 2011 elections.
They include National Democratic Party of Liberia, National Patriotic Party, True Whig Party, and Congress for Democratic Change.
Others are National Vision Party, Liberia National Union, National Reformation Party and Progressive Democratic Party, PRODEMP.
A statement issued Thursday says the parties will sign a formal communiqué this Saturday and draw up a policy document to guide the activities of the coalition.
The statement said following Saturday’s signing ceremony at the Monrovia City Hall, membership to the coalition shall be declared open to all interested parties.
According to the statement, the Coalition for Democratic Change remains a credible and formidable political alternative for Liberia.
The Press and Public Relations Chief of the CDC Amos Swaray disclosed the current eight political parties have similar policies and guidelines.
