MONROVIA – Representative Jeremiah Kpan Koung of Senator Prince Johnson’s Movement for Democratic Reconstruction (MDR) has been declared winner of the Nimba County mid-term senatorial election by the National Elections Commission (NEC). He won with 37,899 votes constituting 36.12%. The votes are from 741 polling places in Nimba County. Though Koung won on the ticket of MDR, he was backed by the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change which decided not to field a candidate in Nimba. Rep. Koung’s victory over the CPP’s candidate who came very close is due to his alignment with Senator Johnson who is revered as the godfather of the county.
