— Chairman Korkoya Informs SenatorsThe Chairman of the National Elections Commission (NEC) and a team of Commissioners have informed the Liberian Senate that the Commission has not received a dime for the conduct of the October 2020 midterm Senatorial Election. The midterm Senatorial Election, as expected in October, will be drawing 15 of the 30 Senators elected in 2011 whose tenure expires this year. Without the conduct of this election, it is certain that Liberia will enter into a constitutional crisis as the 9-year tenure for said Senators expires as of October. “Without sounding dramatic, I think we are seriously late with the voter roll,” Cllr Korkoya maintained. The two Senators clarified that the Liberian Senate has not taken any position regarding the East International agreement for the expansion of the road project.
