The observer mission of Atlanta based US group Carter Center is recommending to national government to carry out proper revision of electoral legislation that will help in addressing election gaps here. “We encourage the government to carry out a full review of electoral legislation through an inclusive process to address gaps and inconsistencies with the goal of bringing the legal framework in line with international standards for democratic elections,” the US group said Thursday, 28 December in Monrovia.
The Carter Center made its recommendation at a news conference at the Boulevard Palace Hotel in Sinkor Thursday where it released its preliminary findings in the 26 December presidential runoff between ruling Unity Party (UP) and opposition Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC).
Reading the Observer Mission’s findings, former Senegalese Prime Minister, now head of the Carter Center Observer Mission Dr. Aminata Toure told reporters that the Carter Center Observer Mission’s report sees the runoff election to be calm and peaceful.
