Didwho Welleh Twe information

Didwho Welleh Twe (April 14, 1879 – March 19, 1961) was a Liberian politician. He became a representative in the Liberian legislature and a presidential candidate in the 1951 Liberian general election. A review of his life shows that he was an advocate of Liberian native rights and the first Liberian of full tribal background to officially and openly seek the Liberian presidency.^[1] Since 1847, the country was ruled by descendants of American former Black slaves known as Americo-Liberians until 1980. The descendants constitute less than ten percent of the population.^[2]
