The Coalition for the Transformation of Liberia (COTOL) is a four-party coalition that was formed to contest the 2005 elections in Liberia. COTOL's member parties include the Liberian Action Party (LAP), Liberia Unification Party (LUP), People's Democratic Party of Liberia (PDPL), and the formerly dominant True Whig Party (TWP).
In the 11 October 2005 elections, the coalition's presidential candidate Varney Sherman placed 5th out of 22 candidates, winning 7.8% of the vote.
COTOL was more successful in the concurrent legislative elections, winning seven Senate seats (the most of any single political party or coalition) and eight in the House of Representatives.
