Monrovia - The bill of information seeking the change in the date of the runoff presidential election has been denied and dismissed by the Supreme Court of Liberia. Chief Justice Francis Korkpor reading the opinion of the court said it will be in “bad faith to grant the request by the Unity Party”. But in the majority opinion, Chief Justice Korkpor said there were four issues that the court will speak upon. The Court, however, said NEC was in no error of setting December 26 on grounds that the Unity party misinterpreted Article 83 (B). “We can’t sustain the argument for the informant (UP) bill of information, NEC did not err, and the decision not to grant this bill of information is strictly in compliance of our Dec 7 opinion.
