Liberia: CPP Cry Wolf—Says Cummings Votes Were Diverted

The Campaign Committee to Elect Alexander B. Cummings as President of Liberia says it is alarmed by the reported numbers the CPP presidential ticket is said to have received so far.

“While we are still assessing the results at this point, it’s important that we flag as a major issue of concern the clear pattern that is emerging across the country,” a release under the signature of  the National Campaign Chairman, Amb. Lewis G. Brown said.

According to him, from all across the country, partisans and supporters of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) are informing them of troubling concerns that places where they voted, including in large numbers, are reporting ridiculously low numbers for the CPP’s Presidential Ticket.

“This is also true where CPP down-ballot candidates are projected to win. We are seeing this undemocratic trend at every polling center all across the country,” he alleges.

Meanwhile, the Cummings support group noted that this is compelling CPP partisans and supporters to conclude that results for the CPP Presidential Tickets may have been predetermined as opposed to reflecting the actual votes cast.

“We are assessing these troubling reports and alarming concerns and urging all Liberians to be peaceful, as we do so. We are determined to ensure the true will of the voters are upheld,” the statement added.

At the same time, Browne informed them that they are resolved to factually uncover and understand what has actually happened.

“We have a duty to our young democracy, our partisans and supporters, and the people of Liberia to do so. Let there be no mistake: The outcome of the October 10 Elections must be seen by the people of Liberia to freely and fairly reflect their will. Nothing else can be acceptable,” the statement concluded.

 Despite the allegations, local and international observers have so far described the process as peaceful and credible.
