Buchanan, Grand Bassa County - Grand Bassa County seems to no longer be the stronghold of Cllr. In the House of Representatives, Liberty Party had two and one independent supporters’ seats and it also occupied the two senatorial seats for the county. Rep. Gabriel Buchanan Smith and Rep. Jeh Baron Brown are the two Liberty Party lawmakers for the lower house, while Sen. Nyonblee Kangar Lawrence and Sen. Jonathan Lambert Kaipay are the two lawmakers at the upper house from the Liberty Party. According to the results, Rep. Smith was defeated by a Findley supporter, Mr. Matthew Joe while Rep. Jeh Baron Brown has been defeated by another close friend of Findley, Mr. Vincent Willie. Though Rep. Hans Barchue is the only Liberty Party sympathizers, who have preliminarily retained his seat in the county, he cannot alone help the Liberty Party to put it back on the top again in county.
