MONROVIA – A fierce and deeply personal war of words has erupted between Sinoe County Senator Augustine Chea and former Senator Milton Teahjay, exposing sharp political divisions and setting the stage for a potentially explosive 2029 electoral battle.
In a strongly worded statement, Senator Chea drew a stark contrast between himself and his former colleagues, portraying his leadership as grounded in “education, discipline, and critical thinking,” while taking direct aim at Teahjay’s communication style, which he described as “unfiltered, aggressive, and filled with invectives.”

Chea argued that such rhetoric reflects a lack of substance, branding the former lawmaker as “an empty drum” who resorts to noise instead of reasoned debate.
The Senator went further, questioning Teahjay’s political standing and public image, asserting that his rival “cannot survive outside of government” and remains unpopular within key national circles.
But former Senator Teahjay wasted no time firing back with equal intensity, launching a scathing rebuttal that accused Chea of arrogance, hypocrisy, and emotional instability.
In his response, Teahjay described the sitting senator as “pretentious and duplicitous,” alleging that Chea reacts impulsively and fails to engage in substantive debate.
Teahjay also raised past political decisions, accusing Chea of acting without due diligence on critical issues affecting Sinoe County, and questioned his credibility as a lawyer and leader.
Dismissing any suggestion of political weakness, the former senator declared his readiness to confront Chea head-on, vowing, “I will still take you down.”
Despite the heated exchanges, Teahjay attempted to frame the confrontation as the beginning of a broader political contest, calling it a “marathon” toward 2029 and urging that the debate remain civil—even as his remarks underscored the intensity of the rivalry.
The escalating feud between Augustine Chea and Milton Teahjay has since sparked widespread reaction across Sinoe County, with supporters on both sides amplifying the confrontation on social media and within local communities.
Political observers say the exchange signals more than just a personal dispute—it reflects a brewing power struggle that could dominate Sinoe’s political landscape in the lead-up to the 2029 elections.
While the rhetoric continues to intensify, many citizens are urging both leaders to shift focus from personal attacks to addressing the county’s pressing development challenges.
As tensions rise, one thing is clear: the road to 2029 in Sinoe County has already begun—and it promises to be anything but quiet.
