MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Board of Commissioners of the National Elections Commission (NEC) has reaffirmed its declaration of Frank Saah Foko as the winner of the December 8, 2020, Montserrado County District Nine Representative By-election.

The unanimous ruling of the Board of NEC was reached on Tuesday, February 9, 2021.

However, lawyers representing the complainant, Fubbi Henries, of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) have accepted the ruling but announced an appeal to the Supreme Court of Liberia.

NEC Chairperson Davidetta Browne-Lansanah said: “Complainant Henries has failed to establish that irregularity and fraud occurred during the Representative By-Election.”
