Many   Citizens in District #2 Montserrado County  are saddened  and disappointed , calling on the international  community,  national  stakeholders to urge  the National Elections Commission (NEC)  to take the responsibility of  what they characterized as   electoral Irregularities and declare  the rightful  representative elect of the district. 

They have  challenged the NEC to prove them wrong  by recounting  votes cast  on October 10, at several  polling  places  where they are claiming  alteration on the tally  sheets  report  that  is   preventing Candidate Bishop Nimley  J. Donyen from winning the election.

” Candidate  Bishop  Nimley J Donyen  won the elections  according to the tally  sheets record  in our possession,  he was leading throughout , time for NEC to announce  him as a winner, they played with the result and announced  Sekou Kanneh. 

“The people  altered  the original tally sheets  we have here in our possession,   what we have is quite  different from what they announce.  Donyen is who we voted for, not Sekou Kanneh,”     Superintendent, Madam Kebeh Harris of Nimba United Community Market.

explained. 

 Speaking  to one of the Community Elders, Mr.  Nyema Harris, in  Kpanwin Community within the district, asserted, there is no  way Donyen can lose the election to Sekou, saying that  as far as he is concerned, Doyen is the formidable candidate  who is the face of the district. 

According  to him,  the district  tally sheets  in their possession clearly manifest that he wins the elections. 

Elder Harris added that their only request  which  he said is in line with the law is to call for recount  at the various  polling  places   where the actual tally  sheet  figures were replaced  by numbers manufactured  by an unknown individual  to bury  Bishop  Nimley  Donyen  votes. 

Mr. Cyrus Toh, the Youth leader of Johnsonville Township in the district, acknowledges that the district is sad and quiet  over the delay to announce  Bishop  Donyen as a winner. 

“Sekou Kanneh is just taking the glory to himself  but the result of the 19 Precincts we have in the district shows Candidate Nimely  J. Donyen wins the election.

“From all the information  I got around here and what I saw, Bishop  Donyen  wins the election. In fact  I have been receiving calls from all over in the district  asking about the causes of the overturning  of the result.

“The district has been so sad and  quiet,  you know if anybody works towards  something  they deserve  and sees something contrary,  it brings sorrow,” Youth Chairman Toh explained. 

He added  that  the action is showing foul play and disrespect to the decision made by the masses in the district. 

Also in an exclusive interview with  the Chairperson of Team Doyen,  Mr. Ramcy Larway over the weekend,  he vows that under no circumstances  Sekou can win his candidate  Bishop Donyen, challenged for recount  to prove him wrong. 

“We have our tally sheets and we know we won the election. With God above all things are possible….We were  in the lead  until the last results were announced that Sekou Kanneh won the election!  It’s not possible because we’ve all of our tally sheets. We wrote a letter to NEC requesting for a recount and it was granted. We are now taking legal action and we know that bit by bit, we’ll get a good result. Bishop DONYAN the people’s choice,” the assured.
