Liberia: Ahead of By-Election, President Sirleaf cautions Voters
Nov 17, 2009
by Michael Kpayili / Staff Writer
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is calling on partisans of the ruling Unity Party (UP) and the opposition Congress for Democratic Change to stick to the democratic doctrine during to forthcoming Montserrado County Senatorial By-Election slated for November 24, 2009.
The President, in a special statement issued yesterday reminded the partisans of the two parties that no matter who becomes victorious in the election, they as Liberians will still be here in the country to work together to make the nation better for everyone and for the future generation.
The National Election Commission (NEC) last week announced the final result of November 10 poll with the CDC and UP obtaining 35.5% and 29.7% respectively of the total valid votes of 95,462. The two parties have already begun campaigning for the November 24 polls, but President Sirleaf is calling for caution and the country’s interest.
CDC candidates Mrs. Geraldine Doe-Sheriff and UP candidate Mr. Clemenceau Urey have been qualified by the National Election Commission (NEC) to contest the run-off election slated for November 24, 2009.
The release quotes President Sirleaf as saying “no matter who wins, we will be here and we will have to work together to make Liberia better for everyone and for the future generations. We may have our difference, but we can always resolve everything through dialogue and peaceful negotiations,” President Sirleaf maintained. She said abnormalities in the first round of the By-Election on November 10 at some polling places were a learning process for the National Elections Commission.
The Liberian Leader however used the occasion to call on citizens of Montserrado County to turn out in mass to elect the candidate of their choice.
The recent statement of President Sirleaf was received with mix reaction and different understanding by inhabitants of the Montserrado County. Earlier, President Sirleaf directed her support and loyalty to only a single candidate disregarding her position as President. Many see the result of the first round as an indirect defeat to the ruling Unity Party.
