Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>House Speaker Bhofal Chambers says trucking voters from one county to another, or from one district to the next, is advantageous to aspirants but disadvantageous to the citizens.<\/p>\n

Speaker Chambers who frowned on vote trucking argued that the act is also disadvantageous to the county or district from where citizens are being trucked. He said it decreases the population of those areas.<\/p>\n

Speaker Chambers who have warned against voters trucking during the ongoing biometric voter registration exercise across the country said trucking is an anti-democratic practice that should not be tolerated.<\/p>\n

The speaker added that voter trucking undermines development, which is driven by population.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, called on political aspirants to desist and allow the citizens to register in their county of residence.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoliticians who are in the habit of trucking voters are only doing that to get power; they are not in the interest of the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The undemocratic practice of said voter trucking, he noted, only imposes leaders who aren\u2019t the choice of the residents of the county they have been trucked to.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chambers has called on Marylanders to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you to register so that you can reelect President Weah for his second term. If you don\u2019t register you will not have the power to reelect us,\u201d he pleaded with Marylanders.<\/p>\n

He assured Marylanders of continuous support from the CDC-led government, noting that the government is committed to providing basic social services, health care delivery, security, education, agriculture, and road connectivity.<\/p>\n
