The House of Representatives, on June 23, 2020 concurred with the Liberian Senate to adopt the resolution setting the special senatorial elections and national referendum on December 8, 2020 which had previously been scheduled for October 13, 2020. By doing so, the Legislature also ignored President George Weah’s request for the both events to be held on December 8, 2020.
