CDC Secretary General Eugene Nagbe has clarified that ambassador George Weah has not consented to run as Vice Presidential candidate to Cllr. Charles Brumskine.
In an interview from the US, Mr. Nagbe told Star Radio, Ambassador Weah only issued a statement agreeing to work with Cllr. Brumskine.
He said the agreement is intended to field a single slate of candidates for the 2011 elections.
Mr. Nagbe said the option remains open for a united opposition ticket.
In the statement, Mr. Weah said while he believes a CDC government under his leadership is the best course for the country, a united opposition could do more.
Mr. Weah says his decision is part of the stride to defeat the ruling party and reverse what he calls the dangerous path Liberia is treading.
He believes such a task can be achieved when opposition leaders sacrifice their personal ambitions to achieve a single slate of candidates for the 2011 elections.
It is not yet clear if the two parties are forming a merger or a coalition.
Meanwhile, George Weah has authorized a CDC exploratory committee to hold discussions with the Liberty Party on how to unite the opposition.
