-As invalid votes overwhelm the process
President George Manneh Weah’s campaign and those of his supporters in order to see eight propositions of the controversial constitutional referendum may likely suffer a massive defeat as invalid votes from provisional results from five Counties are overwhelming.
The National Elections Commission (NEC) yesterday, December 15, 2020, reported that all polling places from Bong, Grand Cape Mount, Maryland, River Gee and Rivercess Counties have reported hundred percent of all votes cast for the National Referendum jointly held on December 8, 2020 with the Special Senatorial Election (SSE) and Representatives by-elections in Montserrado District #9 and Sinoe District #2.
On the reduction of the term of the office of members of the House of Representatives, Bong County electorates cast 51,086 invalid votes (68.38 percent), while 14,439 votes were recorded for a “Yes” (19.2 percent).
