In recent years, and even to date, disenchanted local politicians and inhabitants in rural Liberia are advocating the partitioning of their counties into two separate and autonomous entities to ensure equitable distribution of political, economic, and social benefits. It follows that such discontent usually stems from the “neglect” by senior county officials and politicians to let the affinity of national government impact the local inhabitants adequately. Consequently, there are public outcries among local politicians and their constituents. History presents on numerous instances that power-seeking individuals or leaders pursue their agenda and goals by engaging the support of organizations other than political parties (Tremblay et al., 004).
