Sanniquellie, Nimba County – The election last week of three members to stear the Project Management Committee (PMC) of Nimba County has been rebuffed by a faction of the county legislative caucus, who have threatened not to work with the new leadership. Their elections were done in the absence of eight aggrieved candidates who were vying for the three positions. Representatives Larry Younquoi (Alternative National Congress District 8, District), Samuel Korga (People’s Unification Party District Five) and Prince O.S. “This is a complete disservice to the people of Nimba County to elect people based on affiliation rather than competence,” Rep, Younquoi said. The three lawmakers accused Johnson of influencing the outcome of the election by threatening delegates of retaliations if they voted against his preferred choices.
