By Prince Wonplu in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County
The presidential and representative elections are 46 days away and political campaigns have intensified. Political parties and their candidates are crisscrossing the various counties to woo voters. But The National Elections Commissioner with Oversight on Grand Bassa and Rivercess counties, Jeanette Ebba-Davidson is urging all sides to eschew violence.
Cllr. Ebba-Davidson is particularly calling the people of Grand Bassa to remain peaceful in these elections, adding, “Tearing down of candidates’ flyers will not assure that your candidate will win.”
“We want a peaceful and violence free election,” Cllr. Davidson said. “Bringing posters down is causing violence.” She said it is about time Liberians think out of the box, looking at where Liberia came from and where it is now.
Commissioner Ebba-Davidson called on voters to look at the Candidates critically, what they have done and what they are capable of doing before casting their ballots for them. She also stated that voters should not listen to candidates’ big mouths and flamboyant talks.
She said this year’s elections will put Liberia on the path of development noting the international community is not prepared to spend their billions of dollars on people who are not serious.
She spoke recently during the launch of the Civic Voter Education Campaign in Grand Bassa County at the Buchanan City Hall.
