Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Liberia and its neighbor Ivory Coast have agreed to heighten border security and surveillance ahead of the former\u2019s presidential and legislative elections due in October.<\/p>\n

Liberia Immigration Service (LIS ) Communication Officer Abraham Dorley detailed the plan when he addressed the media Thursday, 30 March 2023.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dorley said the two West African states have underscored that border security is crucial for the conduct of a peaceful election.<\/p>\n

Dorley stressed that both countries will closely collaborate to protect the integrity of the borders against external threats.<\/p>\n

The LIS official emphasized that a guaranteed election requires a border that will protect against threats and other harmful circumstances.<\/p>\n

However, Dorley noted that the LIS takes seriously citizens\u2019 claims of voter trucking, saying it is working along with the National Elections Commission (NEC) to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Liberia\u2019s Internal Affairs Minister Varney Sirleaf led a Liberian delegation to the Ivorian Capitol Abidjan to discuss cooperation between Liberia and Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

Liberia is worried about election violence, as the country heads to the polls to elect a president. Incumbent President George Manneh Weah and several opposition leaders will battle for the nation\u2019s highest office this October.<\/p>\n

Former Liberian Vice President Amb. Joseph Nyumah Boakai, and former Coca-Cola Executive Alexander B. Cummings, are among Mr. Weah\u2019s rivals for office.<\/p>\n
