Monrovia - The Board of Commissioners (BOC) of the National Elections Commission (NEC) Thursday dismissed a motion for recusal filed by the legal team of the Liberty Party (LP) and the Unity Party (UP) against the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners also set Friday November 24, 2017 1:00 PM for the final ruling in the case Charles Walker Brumskine and Harrison Karnwea Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates of the Liberty Party versus The National Elections Commission (NEC) and Unity Party interveners. In the NEC ruling the Board of Commissioners said with Korkoya presiding over the Board of NEC this board has made several decisions in dispute standing from election in favour of the unity Party. Member of the Board of Commissioners said the hearing officer made an ambiguous ruling when he mandated the National Elections Commission to take necessary steps to correct all what they admitted to as difficulties and challenges before any future elections. Muana Ville denied and dismissed complaints of fraud and irregularities in the October 10, 2017 elections filed by the Liberty Party first complaint and the Unity Party interveners.
