The All Liberia Coalition Party (ALCOP) is a traditionalist political party in Liberia that was founded in 1997. ALCOP was led by the Muslim politician G.V. Kromah, and it won 3/64 House of Representatives and 2/26 Senate seats in the 1997 elections, which saw the fear of Charles Taylor’s return to rebellion lead to many voters voting for other parties.

Mr. Kamara was elected on white ballot as the Standard Bearer of the party during the party’s National Convention on December 3, 2022, in Gbarnga, Bong County.
