GRAND CAPE MOUNT – Scores of aggrieved citizens of Grand Cape Mount County have staged a violent protest over the prolong delay by the Government of Liberia (GOL), through the National Elections Commission (NEC), to certificate their Senator-elect Simeon Taylor as the winner of the just ended December 8 senatorial election. Frustratingly, the Supreme Court mandated the NEC to re-conduct deeper investigation into the case which was filed by Mr. Watson. In reaction to the electoral saga, hundreds of residents of the county under the banner: Citizens of Grand Cape Mount County in Demand of their Senator, staged the violent protest in Gbah Foboi during the early morning hours of Monday, May 31. Each county shall elect two Senators and each Senator shall have one vote in the Senate. He commended officers of the Joint Security Task Force assigned in Grand Cape Mount for their “understanding and cooperation” during the protest, adding that, “you made us to feel that we are all Liberians”.
