The West Africa Democracy Solidarity Network (WADEMOS) has applauded the National Electoral Commission of Liberia (NEC), political parties, observers, and all stakeholders for peaceful coordination of the just concluded election that took place in Liberia on October 10th, 2023.
The Communications and Digital Platforms Officer of WADEMOS, Jonah Eledi in a statement said they extol the civility and discipline demonstrated by Liberians, as they showed up in large numbers across the country to vote during the elections.
According to him, WADEMOS also commend the national security agencies for stepping up to the task and delivering an election that was generally recognized as peaceful notwithstanding a few instances of reported violence.
He said as the country heads for a runoff following the announcement by the National Elections Commission that no candidate met the 50%+1 threshold, the Network entreats Liberians to remain calm and ensure respect for the electoral laws and regulations before, during, and after the runoff on November 7, 2023.
“With barely two weeks to go until the run-off, WADEMOS urges the NEC to sustain the commitment it has demonstrated to transparency and electoral integrity, and appeal to all stakeholders, especially the political parties, to resort to appropriate procedures to have their grievances resolved,” he said.
