Senatorial candidate, Gbarpolu District #1 Rep. Alfred Koiwood
Justices of the Supreme Court will gather in a joint chamber on today, January 8, 2021 to hear arguments into the merit and demerit of a complaint of election irregularities and fraud filed by the Senatorial Candidate of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), Alfred Koiwood, who is the current the Representative of District #1 in Gbarpolu County.
Rep. Koiwood complained against the National Election Commission’s ( NEC) handling of the December 8, 2020 special senatorial election in the county and asked the court to place a stay order on the January 7, re-run of election in the Nomodatonau Town, where it was alleged that the Paramount Chief of the town, McGill Wleh, with support from some residents, seized ballot boxes and halted the election from taking place due to what he called “Illegal attempts” by aliens to vote in that part of the country.
