The Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) and its collaborating political parties say the National Elections Commission and stakeholders should act timely, in setting back on course the electoral process to avert unanticipated consequences that could attend the failure to do so. Speaking at a press conference yesterday at the party’s headquarters in Monrovia, Prof. Ansu Sonii, a spokesman for the CDC, said the coalition’s appeal is a matter of national urgency. He said it is the opinion of the CDC that if the runoff election is not held to permit transition of power as required by the Constitution, the attending situation could ultimately draw the nation into an unnecessary crisis. “The CDC and its collaborating political parties will accept nothing less than a timely return to these democratic electoral processes, as indicated,” he stated. He warned that the Constitution of Liberia should not be compromised.
