Piah said the allegations are completely baseless, and are an unfortunate attempt by the parties to undermine Liberia’s democratic process. “These allegations fall in the category of ‘hate speech,’ and ‘inciting language,’ which should be condemned and disavowed by all peace-loving Liberians.

Piah added: “Go to the November 7 poll peacefully, respecting every Liberian’s right to vote with dignity and pride.
