Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Appleals to Citizens to Vote in November 8 Runoff Election

Monrovia, Liberia-(ENEWSPF)- Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf issued the following statement Saturday in anticipation of the presidential runoff election to be held Tuesday, November 8. Her opponent, Mr. Winston Tubman, has said he will not recognize the results of the runoff election while his party, the CDC, won seats in the October election. To that, the Liberian president says, "The CDC has accepted to seat 15 of its partisans in the National Legislature as a result of the October 11 elections, but that same election, where they lost the presidency, they do not accept the results. By their reasoning, the elections are free and fair if CDC wins, but fraudulent when they lose. My Fellow Liberians, the law and the Constitution are not for personal interpretation!"
