Monrovia – The standard bearer of the ruling Unity Party, Vice President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, said their intervention action in support of Liberty Party’s challenge was not a selfish or opportunistic one, nor was it in any way a strategy to unnecessarily cause delay and prolong the electoral process, as alleged by detractors. “We made a responsible and patriotic choice to resort to the rule of law over violence and protests." For those of us who have lived long enough, we know how elections have been conflict prone," UP Standard Bearer Boakai said. “In the same breath we would like to thank the leader of the All Liberian Party, Mr. Benoni Urey, who stood firmly on the side of history in the quest to uphold the credibility and integrity of our electoral process. Sitting on the fence would give you one unpleasant result--living with a choice you neither wanted nor made.
