MONROVIA – In the wake of vast majority of candidates from the governing Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), other political parties and independent candidates conceding defeat in the just ended senatorial election across Liberia, few other candidates remain defiant to congratulate their arch-rivals, threatening to institute legal actions against the National Elections Commission (NEC) over the conduct of the process.

The Collaborating Political Parties has been projected to gain control of the Liberian Senate after winning three seats clearly with three others projected in their sight.
In 2018, the CPP was in control of 13 seats in the Senate, while the ruling CDC had seven, and the remaining 10 seats were shared among independent candidates.
However, CPP lawmakers over the time have voted along the agenda of the ruling CDC of President Weah and did little to checkmate the Executive or to properly critique bills coming from the presidency or the ruling party-dominated Hosue of Representatives.
