Fomba M. Swaray, NEC hearing officer. \u201cIt is worth noting that the Constitution governing documents of political parties are not written at the bar of the administrative forum. Hence, questions as to whether a political governing document is wise or unwise, are best directed at the political parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cMoreover, questions as to whether such agreement is constitutional or unconstitutional are best reserved for the honorable Supreme Court. Accordingly, this investigation does not make any determination on the Constitutional issues raised by complainants and defendants respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NEC hearing officer ruling was regarding a complaint from the Alternative National Congress and Musa Bility faction of the Liberty Party to the electoral body to invoke Section 8.5 (2) CPP framework document as a means of rejecting and denying \u201cany application from the ALP and UP to field candidates in their names in any election until the expiry of the 2023 elections, including up to six (6) months thereafter, same being the agreed contractual life of the CPP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the Unity Party and the ALP have taken exception to the ruling and filed an appeal for a review of the Hearing Officer\u2019s decision to the NEC Board of Commissioners.<\/p>\n<p>The UP and ALP are arguing that If NEC does not have the right to determine constitutional matters and rights, they should not have the authority to prohibit rights provided by the very constitution \u2014 as such they cannot be prohibited, by themselves, from processing the UP candidate for the pending senatorial by-election in Lofa County.<\/p>\n<p><b>Lofa without senator<\/b><\/p>\n<p>For the last two years, Lofa County has been without one of its two senators after former Defense Minister Brownie Samukai faced a hurdle in taking his seat.<\/p>\n<p>His difficulty came when the Supreme Court halted his certification.<\/p>\n<p>Samukai received the most votes in the December 8, 2020 special senatorial election. Of the 11 candidates who vied for the Lofa County senatorial seat, Samukai received 20, 431 votes, followed by independent candidate Cllr. Joseph Jallah with 13,968 votes.<\/p>\n<p>He and two co-defendants were convicted for theft of property, criminal conspiracy, misuse of public money, and money laundering over US$1 million and sentenced to two years in prison, and ordered to restore the money.<\/p>\n<p>The Samukai case, which has been incredibly contentious, came to a crossroads after the Supreme Court revoked the suspension of the two-year jail sentence handed against him and his two deputies for failing collectively failed to comply with the high court\u2019s mandate and judgment to pay 50% of the judgment sum, equal to US$573,828.15, within six months of last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
