Charles Walker Brumskine (27 April 1951-1990) was a Liberian politician and lawyer. He died on November 20, 2019.
He was the head of the Liberty Party and finished third in the 2005 presidential election.
In 2011, he deposed incumbent Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf for the Presidency.
He was also the senior partner of Brumskine & Associates, a major Liberian law firm.
Early life
Brumskine was educated at the University of Liberia, where he obtained a bachelor's degree in economics in 1973. He then attended Louis Arthur Grimes School of Law, where he was granted a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1981 and the Liberian bar was passed. The following year, he earned a Master of Laws degree from the Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
Political career
In the 1990s, Brumskine emerged as a close ally of Charles Taylor. Since Taylor became president in 1997, Brumskine became the Senate's President pro tempore. However, they began feuding in 1999, and Brumskine left the country after being threatened by Taylor's followers. He returned to Liberia in 2003 with plans to run in the upcoming 2003 presidential election. However, Taylor's resignation that year and the inauguration of a two-year transitional government resulted in the elections being postponed.
In 2004, Brumskine registered for the 2005 presidential election as a member of the Liberty Party. Following the country's political turmoil, he promised to bring peace to the region, as well as strengthening the economy and infrastructure as well. The consistent religious message in his campaign made him unique. He received almost 14% of the vote, 6% less than second-place candidate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, so he was unable to participate in the runoff. Given his success in the first round, he may have had a major influence on the run-off if he had chosen either candidate. In the runoff, he did not endorse Sirleaf or her opponent, George Weah, and voted against him.
In 2010, he declared his intention to depose Sirleaf in the 2011 presidential election.
