Monrovia – The National Elections Commission (NEC) Thursday certificated the President-elect, Vice President-elect and 66 of the 73 elected lawmakers ahead of the January 22 inaugural ceremony. The NEC could not certificate seven lawmakers because their respective victories in the October 10 elections are being challenge by opposing candidates. Korkoya cautioned elected officials that the power that has been entrusted to them by the people comes with great deal of expectation and responsibility. SRSG Zarif urged the new government to properly manage the country’s abundant natural resources to improve the lives of Liberians. She thanked the EU nations of the Republics of Germany, Ireland and Sweden for their support to Liberia’s electoral process.
