MONROVIA – Amidst prolong hearings into allegations of electoral fraud that emanated from the December 8, 2021 senatorial election in Grand Cape Mount County, the National Elections Commission (NEC) has finally ruled in favour of the Collaborating Political Party (CPP) Candidate, Simeon Taylor as winner of the election.
In his ruling on Friday, the NEC Hearing Officer, Atty. Fumba Swaray indicated that appellant Victor Watson of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) failed to provide evidence of allegations made against Taylor, and as a such, the result of the December 8, 2020 Special Senatorial Election is sustained.

MONROVIA – It appears that the multiple legal actions filed against the conduct of the just ended December 8, 2020 senatorial and representative by elections in Liberia by some defeated candidates are strangulating adequate representation and impeding legislative debates and decisions intended to help improve the living conditions of citizens and guarantee sustainable developments across the country.
The situation comes as political debates, activities, intensify at Capitol Hill, and newly elected Senators’ recent vow to continue to checkmate the Executive and put more pressure on the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) led government of President George Manneh Weah to deliver to the Liberian people.
