LIBERIA'S SUPREME COURT HEARING ON ELECTION FRAUD. Monrovia  - The Supreme Court has heard arguments on the Liberty Party (LP) and the Unity Party’s (UP) Bill of Exception, which calls for the reversion of the final ruling of the National Elections Commission (NEC) on the October 10th 2017 Presidential and Legislative Elections. Cllr. Charles Walker Brumskine and Oswald Tweh of the Liberty Party told the Court that NEC made reversible errors by not disclosing the Final Registration Roll (FRR) to the polling places as the law provides. Cllr. Tweh further said the elections body had intent of defrauding and holding illegal elections, requesting that the Oct 10th, 2017 elections be annulled and the FRR be cleaned-up.

"Personally I'm happy to be able to dedicate these goals to my young son," he confirmed. "I would have liked to accomp

UNITED STATES EMBASSY ENDORSES OCTOBER 10 ELECTION. The US Embassy in Monrovia has given validity to the October 10, 2017 presidential and representative elections. In a statement issued on Wednesday November 15, 2017, the Embassy said the elections were credible. The Embassy also said it was moved by the turnout of more than a million Liberians to vote on Tuesday October 10. The US Embassy’s laudable comments come in the wake of legal proceedings into complaints of election “fraud and irregularities”. The National Elections Commission (NEC), through its chairman Jerome Korkoya has maintained the Commission, in spite of challenges, conducted free, fair, transparent and credible elections on October 10. The US Embassy in Monrovia, by extension the American government, has indorsed chairman’s Korkoya’s position. Said the US Embassy: “No accredited Liberian, regional, or international observation group suggested that the cumulative anomalies observed reflect systemic issues
