What is NEC telling us here—that this runoff is not that important to explain it and all its ramifications to the Liberian people? In our yesterday’s Editorial, we further called on NEC to make sure that it involves the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in the FRR cleanup exercise. So NEC did announce at its press conference yesterday that a technical team from ECOWAS was due to arrive yesterday to assist with the cleanup exercise. The question is, how does the NEC run ahead and announce a runoff date when it has not first completed the FRR cleanup exercise? Has this been done, when the cleanup exercise has not even begun?
