Senator Prince Moye has been crowned the political “Godfather” of Bong County, as recognized by local religious leaders for his dedication to the county’s development. His influence has grown significantly since his successful 2020 senatorial campaign. Moye is urged to foster unity and collaboration among political figures, and his leadership continues to earn respect across party lines.
Bong County Senator Prince Moye has been honored as the political “Godfather” by the Prophetic Call to Ministry Like Mind Pastors during a ceremony on March 22, 2025, at the Dominion Christian Fellowship Center in Gbarnga. This recognition highlights his unwavering commitment to the development of Bong County since his entry into politics. Bishop Minikon E. Nyenpan praised Moye’s leadership and urged him to leverage his new title to further unite the county and lead subsequent development initiatives.
Bishop Nyenpan also advocated for a county-wide reconciliatory conference, emphasizing that greater cooperation among political figures in Bong County is essential for promoting peace. He underscored the importance of religious leaders becoming more involved in the political landscape, as their historical absence has contributed to non-Christians dominating politics.
In expressing his gratitude for this honor, Senator Moye attributed the title to his successful 2020 senatorial elections. He reaffirmed his commitment to fostering unity, recognizing potential resistance to reconciliation efforts. Moye declared, “If you do not believe, I am the political godfather of the county, it is important that you go under truck,” asserting his political presence. Furthermore, he stated, “I have held the title of ‘Bong County Political Godfather’ since 2020, bestowed upon me by the people of Bong. It’s not something that can be undone.”
Moye, a prominent figure in the Unity Party, garnered support from the opposing Congress for Democratic Change (CDC). CDC chairman Sayblee Weyea congratulated him, noting that differing political ideologies should not hinder Bong County’s progress, akin to historical collaboration witnessed in Nimba County.
Senator Moye’s political career began in 2011 when he successfully ran for Representative of Jorquelleh District, garnering an extraordinary 80 percent of the vote amidst stiff competition. His continued political success saw him gain significant development projects and leadership positions, including Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2018, all while being a member of the opposition Unity Party during a CDC-led government.
With a historic win in the 2020 senatorial race, Moye become the first candidate in Bong County to secure a victory in all seven political districts, earning 50 percent of the vote. Following his senatorial triumph, he played a crucial role in solidifying his party’s leadership with Joseph Boakai as the Unity Party’s standard bearer and in directing the national campaign for Boakai’s presidential bid, thereby reinforcing Bong County’s influence in national affairs.
Senator Prince Moye’s recent honor as Bong County’s political “Godfather” reflects his substantial impact on the region’s development and political landscape. His commitment to unity and leadership is recognized by both supporters and opponents alike. Moye’s political journey, marked by notable victories and strategic roles, positions him as a critical figure in Liberia’s future political dynamics.
