We have seven days left to elect new Liberian leaders, members of the House of Representatives but most especially the President and Vice President of the Republic. There has also been speculation that President Sirleaf, having allegedly failed to convince Vice President Joseph Boakai to choose LP’s Charles Brumskine as vice presidential nominee, has decided to support Brumskine instead of Boakai. As a result, UP and President Sirleaf seem not to have a cohesive relationship with Mr. Boakai. There is also this legal situation that NEC chairman Korkoya allegedly holds American citizenship that is impermissible under the Liberian law. Yet, the key player in the ensuing electoral process is NEC, its chairman, Jerome Korkoya, and his fellow Commissioners, and other workers.
