Monrovia – Bomi County Senator Edwin Melvin Snowe has warned that lawmakers involved in the expulsion of former Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Y. Kolubah will face the full weight of voter backlash at the 2029 polls.
Appearing on The OK Conversation with Julius Jeh on OK FM 99.5, on April 27, Senator Snowe predicted that members of the House of Representatives who signed the resolution to oust Kolubah have effectively jeopardized their political futures.
“The issue with Yekeh is serious; people might take it for granted. Some people re-election will be affected by the decision of Yekeh’s expulsion. Some people popularity in their districts will shrink because of their action in expelling Yekeh,” Senator Snowe remarked.
While acknowledging that the House has the legal right to expel its members, the Bomi lawmaker emphasized that the political consequences in 2029 would be far more severe than his colleagues anticipate.
The ‘Hand of God’ Allegation
Though 49 Representatives signed the resolution on April 17, 2026, Snowe suggested the move was not a unilateral decision by the Legislative branch. Drawing from his own experience with legislative power struggles, Snowe claimed that high-profile removals—such as that of a Speaker, Senate Pro-Tempore, or a fellow lawmaker—rarely happen without external influence.
In a poignant revelation, Snowe asserted that such moves often require the blessing of what he termed “the hand of god” from another branch of government.
“No member of the Legislature can be expelled without the hand of a ‘supernatural power’ from another branch of government,” Snowe asserted, a hint likely directed at Executive interference in the process.
