Ruth Perry

Ruth Perry

Ruth Sando Fahnbulleh Perry (born 1939) was Chairwoman of the Council of State of Liberia from 3 September 1996 until 2 August 1997, following the First Liberian Civil War. The Council of State consisted of a civilian chair, as well as members: Charles Taylor, United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy-K leader Alhaji Kromah, Liberia Peace Council leader George Boley, and two other civilians.

Although serving in a non-partisan capacity, Perry was a member of the National Democratic Party of Liberia.

Liberia also has the distinction of having Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf being the first female African leader to be elected, making it only the second country on the continent with two female rulers in its history after Sao Tome & Principe.

Following elections held in July 1997, Perry handed power to Charles Taylor on 2 August.
