MONROVIA – Lawyers representing the legal interest of the Collaborating Political Parties or CPP’s senatorial candidate, Edith Gongloe-Weh, are calling for recount of ballots for Electoral Districts #7, 4 and 5, and rerun election in Electoral Districts #1, and #2, in Nimba County.
But the defense counsel led by Counselors Arthur Johnson and Cooper Kruah, asked the hearing officer or fact-finder to deny the complainant’s legal memorandum on ground that they did not adduced any “materiality and particularity” evidence as they claimed of alleged frauds and irregularities.
