Africa-Press – Liberia. The National Elections Commission (NEC) on Tuesday, December 14, 2021 certificated Erol Madison Gwion winner of the just-ended November 16, 2021 by-election in Grand Gedeh County.
Three of the four winners certificated are Finda Lassanah of Bomi Independent Candidate, Samuel N. Brown Sr. of Nimba County an Independent Candidate and Erol Madison Gwion of Grand Gedeh County of the Liberia Restoration Party (LRP).
Presenting the certificate to the Grand Gedeh lawmaker-elect, Commissioner P. Teplah Reeves said the November 16, 2021 by-election was successful conducted in four Counties Bong, Nimba, Grand Gedeh and Bomi Counties.
According to Commissioner Reeves, the Commission subsequently declared winners to these four counties and certificated only the winners from Bomi and Nimba because complaints was filed against the process in Grand Gedeh and Bong Counties, respectively.
“As we celebrate the end of this process, the commission assures all Liberians of its constitutional mandate and commitment to conduct free, fair, critical, and transparent elections throughout the country,” she asserted. She cautioned that Liberians should commit themselves to the rule of law as a surer way to sustain the peace and democracy in Liberia.
Making remarks, the newly elected representative of the November 16 by-election of electoral district #1 Grand Gedeh County, Erol Madison Gwion appreciated the Governance of Liberia for creating an enabling environment for citizens to have equal rights to participating into free fair and transparent democratic election.
According to Madison Gwion, people of this nation should be grateful to witness the enjoyment of this dispensation of multiparty democracy. He noted that the reason for lots of variables in multiparty democracy is to allow those in whom power is inherent to crystal clearly examine politicians and be in position to adequately select the clean and unclean.
“I want to commend the Board of Commissioner of the National Elections Commission for the role you got play in this country; it’s not an easy role, it is a tough decision making process that is difficult for looser to accept,” he noted.
When quizzed about his ninety days deliverables, Gwion said reconciliation is a startup of his plan. “Count reconciliation as a startup and of course don’t expect me to live in Monrovia, see me as a visitor in Monrovia because the actual job is in the county,” he said.
