“There are plans to determine that the Lofa County seat cannot be occupied by Brownie Samukai – meaning that the decision of the Lofa people will be nullified,” he said. In his OK FM interview, he said “any attempt to declare the Lofa County seat would be the beginning of a negotiation for an interim government”. On March 8, the Supreme Court halted his certification by the National Election Commission (NEC). Of the 11 candidates who vied for the Lofa County senatorial seat, Samukai received 20, 431 votes, followed by Independent candidate Cllr. Samukai has experienced mixed rulings with the Supreme Court since he won the senatorial seat in Lofa.
