After today, any election case heard by the NEC and the Supreme Court could be deemed unconstitutional according to the senators. Article 83 C of the Liberian Constitution states, “The returns of the elections shall be declared by the Elections Commission not later than fifteen days after the casting of ballots. Any party or candidate who complains about the manner in which the elections were conducted or who challenges the results thereof shall have the right to file a complaint with the Elections Commission. Any political party or independent candidate affected by such decision shall not later than seven days appeal against it to the Supreme Court. According to Madam Davidetta Browne-Lansanah, the Chairperson of NEC, the Commission has now concluded on five election dispute cases.
