-Amb. Boakai expresses trust in the electoral process, as he cast his vote
By Jerromie S Walters
Like the incumbent- Amb. Joseph Nyuma Boakai, the Standard Bearer of the opposition Unity Party has cast his vote as part of the ongoing presidential runoff election, and expressed trust in the process.
As Liberians visit the polls today, Amb. Boakai exercised his franchise at Polling Place #1, MaGuire Catholic School, in Paynesville. Elaborating his confidence in the process, he says- “I’m satisfied with what I saw, I don’t know what is happening around but I hope all is okay.”
Like several other Liberians, he attributes the low turnout to voters trucking during the general elections. Also, he says the low turnout may also be because electorate believe the process is not as tense as the previous elections, as such- they see nothing apt in being swift to visit the polls.
Amb. Joseph Nyuma Boakai goes head to head with incumbent President George Weah today, following the climax of the October 10, 2023, general elections, which they both, along with 18 other presidential candidates, failed to reach the constitutional 50+1 percent votes cast, to secure the presidency.
As many did during the arrival of President Weah at the KendeJa Public School, Amb. Boakai was overwhelmingly embraced by his supporters upon arriving at the MaGuire Catholic School, and even prior to his departure.
“Rescue one, our pa sorry, we made mistake-“ those at the polling center chanted, as the former Vice President appeared and departed the voting center.
Amb. Boakai was accompanied by his wife, and the National Chairman of the Unity Party (UP). In a brief engagement with the media at the voting center, Rev. Luthier Tarpeh, says he’s certain about their victory.
According to him, it is written on the walls because he believes Liberians are resolved.
