Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>ECOWAS Resident Representative Ambassador Josephine Nkrumah said that Liberia would no longer be considered a post-conflict country but a nation that understands and is committed to its democracy, and working towards sustaining it.<\/p>\n

Amb. Nkrumah addressed political party chairpersons and other representatives who gathered at the Boulevard Palace in Monrovia to honor the 2024 ECOWAS Commission in Liberia post-election dialogue.<\/p>\n

The post-election dialogue was attended by over 15 political parties, with one notable absentee, the governing Unity Party. However, the dialogue highlighted the challenges confronted during the 2023 elections, how to mitigate these challenges, and sanitize the space for future elections.<\/p>\n

Madam Nkrumah noted that the world has changed its perception of Liberia being a post-conflict nation after former President George Weah demonstrated political maturity by conceding defeat, stating it took ECOWAS to new heights where election matters were settled through peaceful transition.<\/p>\n

Said Madam Nkrumah, \u201cI feel very humble to have been a part of the process that has changed the perception of Liberia. And I am very hopeful and confident that following the 2023 elections and the success of these elections, Liberia has also become a beacon of democracy not only in West Africa but indeed in Africa as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

She, however, said ECOWAS\u2019 intention is to work with the National Election Commission (NEC) and political parties to drive the process and understand the roles of parties involved to find a resolution to problems.<\/p>\n

She emphasized that some of the obstacles characterized from the 2023 election were misinformation, disinformation, hate speeches, stressing that Liberians need to sanitize the space against these barriers that create electoral violence and to ensure the legal system is strengthened to amicably address election matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really must be looking forward from this time on as to what is it that we do to improve the election ecosystem from right now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cThis opportunity provides us the time to remember and to reflect on what it is that we learned from the electoral process, what was the high point, low point, what is it that we can do better and how can we build upon the gains we have made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the political parties, Gabriel Salee, the National Chairperson for the Liberia Restoration Party, lauded ECOWAS for providing the opportunity to ensure dialogue and fostering peace among these institutions.<\/p>\n

According to him, the dialogue provided the space to learn and to work for the general good of Liberians who are depending on these political actors to make decisions on their behalf.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, NEC director for political affairs, Ignatius Wesseh, said the Commission is currently reviewing some of the instruments of the book for political decision which include the electoral laws.<\/p>\n

According to him, the process of elections does not end on the same day as it requires continuous planning. He called on political parties to foster nation-building and adhere to the commitments made during the electoral processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not all about election, after elections think about your people and how the Liberian people\u2019s lives can be improved. You don\u2019t have to be in leadership, you don\u2019t have to lead the country before your party can contribute toward nation-building.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an election circle, after the elections, we try to review the laws, to make amendments, we try to make further energumen and we begin planning for subsequent elections,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
