MONROVIA: The opposition All Liberian Party, ALP says it has formulated a team of legal practitioners to challenge the National Elections Commission results in the just ended Representative by-elections in Montserrado County district #15.
ALP Chairman Theodore Momo said the party will go against any result which does not represent the will of the people in district#15.
Addressing reporters during the weekend, Chairman Momo said the ALP and other collaborating political parties have explicit confidence that Representative Candidate Telia Urey won the election.
According to him, the collaborating political parties will stand stronger together on ensuring a victory.
The ALP Chairman has frowned on President George Weah on what he calls the poor governance of the state.
Chairman Momo noted if the Liberian Leader is not able to steer the affairs of the state he should resign his post as President of the Country.
What is happening in district 15 is broad day robbery of the democratic process. The opposition political parties will never accept it; we will never succumb to it. We will fight to a necessary end.
The CDC, they’ve got nothing to offer our Country, but violence, President Weah needs to step down.
If President Weah cannot bring this country together in peace and harmony, than he has failed his oath.
We have insisted that certain number of precincts in district 15 must be quarantined. The National elections Commission agreed with us.
In the same vein, they are now giving results from the vary centers that were quarantined. How is that possible?
We challenge the national Elections Commission; the 65 out of 94 precincts results they released contain the very affected areas, and that is why today, they are stock up in a dilemma.
