[FrontPageAfrica] Monrovia -- Over a month has passed since the political impasse erupted in Liberia's House of Representatives, where lawmakers under the banner "Majority Bloc" sought to unseat Speaker J. Fonati Koffa. Refusing to convene under his gavel, the bloc began holding separate sessions in the joint chamber, culminating last Thursday in their declaration of the Speaker's seat vacant and the election of Rep. Richard Nagbe Koon (District #11, Montserrado County) as their new Speaker.
