Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) has condemned as political recklessness, the announcement of election results by its main rival Unity Party (UP).<\/p>\n

CDC National Campaign Spokesman Cllr. Kanio Bai Gbala condemned the former ruling party when he appeared on Freedom FM.<\/p>\n

According to a press release, Cllr. Gbala asserted that such \u201cirresponsible and dangerous action\u201d by the Unity Party tends to severely undermine the credibility of the National Elections Commission.<\/p>\n

He added that it could provoke violence and undermine the peace and stability of the Liberian state.<\/p>\n

Cllr. Gbala alleged that it was on account of such provocative statements and actions that two CDCians were brutally murdered in Foya, Lofa County, and another CDCian stoned to the brink of death.<\/p>\n

He claimed further that a presidential motorcade was attacked during the CDC\u2019s closing rally on 8 October 2023.<\/p>\n

Cllr. Gbala warned the Unity Party that all such actions are collectively serious violations not only of the Farmington Declaration but also of various criminal laws of the Liberian state that are punishable by jail time once due process is adduced.<\/p>\n

Cllr. Gbala therefore called on all well-meaning Liberians, the Liberia Civil Society Council, the Elections Coordinating Committee, the Interreligious Council of Liberia, ECOWAS, the AU, the European Union, the US Embassy in Monrovia, and other moral guarantors of the Liberian state to condemn the act of the UP.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cllr. Gbala has assured all partisans and supporters of the CDC that the Weah-Taylor 2023 National Victory Campaign is alive and on course.<\/p>\n

He cautioned CDCians to remain calm, law-abiding, and jubilant and to promptly report any illegal and\/or violent actions to the appropriate authorities for legal redress in line with the law.<\/p>\n

Following the presidential and legislative elections conducted on Tuesday, 10 October 2023, the National Elections Commission commenced the announcement of preliminary results from various counties.<\/p>\n

The process is expected to continue in the coming days. CDC and the UP remain two archrivals battling for the presidency.<\/p>\n
