The Unity Party, which has existed since the 1980s and is the result of the merger of three political formations, has been the ruling party in Liberia since 2006, when President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, a candidate for that political formation in the 2005 and 2011elections is elected, and even today the only woman who has the status of Head of State on the African continent.
