The former Minister of Defense had faced hurdle in taking his seat as Lofa County\u2019s senator after the Supreme Court of Liberia halted his certification by the National Election Commission (NEC).<\/p>\n

The nation\u2019s highest court\u2019s decision against Samukai, of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), was trigged by a Writ of Prohibition filed March 2,2021, by O\u2019Neil Passewe, chair of the Movement for Progressive Change.<\/p>\n

Passewe asked the court to halt the certification of Samukai because he has been convicted by the Supreme Court for the crime of money laundering. Associate Justice Joseph N. Nagbe, who issued the writ, has planned a conference in the justice chambers for 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 9, 2021, to discuss the case.<\/p>\n

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.Samukai has experienced mixed rulings with the Supreme Court since he won the senatorial seat in Lofa.<\/p>\n
