Monrovia – The Supreme Court of Liberia will on Friday begin hearing the Bill of Exception of the Liberty Party, which calls for the reversion of the final ruling of the National Elections Commission. The voters, who, according to the Liberty Party, were being deprived of their constitutional right to vote, took matters into their own hands and disrupted the voting. In Lofa County, Precinct #21128, a Liberty Party poll watcher was tied, beaten and bruised by Police officer Jefferson Togbah on orders of the Presiding Officer, because he had continuously raised issues of counting irregularities. The party, amongst many other issues, noted that the NEC Board erred by denying the its Motion for requesting the recusal of Cllr. “Wherefore and in view of the foregoing, 1st Appellants hereby tender this, as their Bill of Exceptions, for your approval so that your adverse Final Ruling will be reviewed by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Liberia, and reversed,” the Bill of Exception noted.
