On March 22, 2025, Senator Prince Moye was honored as the political “Godfather” of Bong County during a ceremony held at the Dominion Christian Fellowship Center in Gbarnga, facilitated by the Prophetic Call to Ministry Like Mind Pastors. This recognition celebrates Moye’s unwavering leadership and contributions to the county’s development since entering politics.

Bishop Minikon E. Nyenpan, president of the organizing body, commended Senator Moye for his dedication and urged him to utilize his influence to promote unity and spearhead development initiatives within Bong County. He emphasized the importance of organizing a reconciliatory conference to encourage collaboration among political figures and to foster peace in the region.

Bishop Nyenpan also highlighted a historical trend of religious leaders in Liberia being disengaged from politics, a situation he believes has allowed non-Christians to dominate the political landscape. He called upon religious organizations to take a more active role in influencing the nation’s political trajectory.

In his speech, Senator Moye expressed his deep appreciation for the honor and credited the title of political “Godfather” to his significant electoral victory in the 2020 senatorial elections. He pledged to continue working towards unity within the county, while acknowledging potential resistance towards his reconciliation efforts.

Moye asserted his political standing with a declaration that his title as the political “Godfather” remains intact since the 2020 election, adding that any challenge to such a title would require extreme actions. This declaration underscores his belief in his legitimacy and influence in Bong County.

The acknowledgement of Moye’s status has also received support from the opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC). CDC Chairman Sayblee Weyea praised Moye’s achievements via Facebook, indicating a desire for collaboration among differing political views in Bong County to advance collective progress.

Senator Moye’s political career began in 2011 when he successfully ran for Representative of Jorquelleh District, garnering an impressive 80 percent of the vote amid fierce competition. His subsequent tenure as a Representative from 2011 to 2017 included the initiation of over 20 development projects, notably one funded by the World Bank. He was re-elected in 2017, reflecting his trusted status in the community.

His political influence escalated in 2018 when he became Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives. Despite being part of the opposition Unity Party, Moye earned bipartisan respect. Notably, during the 2020 senatorial race, he became the first candidate in Bong County history to win in all seven political districts, showcasing his formidable grassroots support.

Moye has continued to play a crucial role in national politics, significantly aiding in securing Joseph Boakai as the Unity Party’s presidential candidate and serving as the National Campaign Chair for Boakai’s bid in 2023. His leadership has facilitated key government positions for Bong County natives, marking a pivotal influence on the area’s political landscape.

Senator Prince Moye’s recent recognition as the political “Godfather” of Bong County reflects his sustained commitment to the region’s advancement. His leadership has garnered support across party lines, emphasizing the need for unity and collaboration in politics.
