The Liberian political landscape saw a major change in January when new senators, mostly from opposition parties, were inaugurated after winning elections in December 2020. But the opposition disintegrated after recording such impressive gains against the government. Covid-19 infections surged in June and July, but the economy remained resilient, growing at 3.6%, thanks to recovery measures put in place that encouraged the reopening of some sectors. Moderate gains were made against corruption, but the governance and service challenges continued unabated. With in-fighting within the opposition, the government faced less scrutiny of its policies. Though it also had unresolved internal tensions, the ruling coalition made efforts to build new alliances with some smaller parties and influential politicians, while members of the main opposition coalition were engaged with internal factional battles over the leadership of the coalition.
