Since the start of the Biometric Voters Registration Process, tension has been blowing in Electoral District #10, Montserrado County, with riot police of the Emergency Response Unit (ERU) of the Liberia National Police (LNP) spraying up teargas to restore calm on Saturday, March 25, 2023.
The National Elections Commission (NEC) is conducting a three-day Data Collection training workshop for elections monitors in Ganta City, Nimba county. Under the theme, “Ensuring Integrity, Transparency, Inclusion and Credibility in the Electoral Processes,” the workshop, which is being held under the aegis of the Monitoring and Evaluation Department, is intended to provide election monitors skills in data collection on the participation of women and marginalized groups in the electoral process.
Amid caution by Montserrado County Senator Abraham Darius Dillon to the Standard Bearer of the opposition Unity Party(UP), Ambassador Joseph Nyuma Boakai that time is not in his(Boakai) favor and the UP regarding the selection of his Running Mate for the much publicized Presidential and Legislative Elections in October of this year, several supporters of Henry Pedro Costa have warned losing Costa over the ongoing bickering will be the worst decision the UP and Boakai will be making.
The Executive Director of the Center for Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding (CECPAP), Charles Crawford, has stressed the need for Liberians to resist the acts of voter trucking and electoral violence during this period of the biometric voter registration (BVR) in Liberia.
The Liberian Women Forum (LWF), an organization responsible to seek the welfare of all women, is encouraging females of voting ages to turnout in their numbers to register for voting.
With all eyes readily set and watchful on the Vice Presidential candidate pick by former Vice President Joseph Nyuma Boakai and Unity Party (UP), one of the ardent supporters of the former Vice President, Montserrado County Senator Abraham Darius Dillon, has cautioned that time is not in the favor of the UP and its political leader.
Liberians will go to the polls in October this year. The outcome of the polls will depend on how the media as one of the key actors will play its role to ensure a transparent, inclusive, and peaceful process. Disinformation, misinformation and hate speech, on the other hand can undermine the integrity of elections, their outcomes, and the role of the media.
