MONROVIA – The Chairman of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), Mulbah Morlu, has told journalists during a press conference that reports in the possession of the party show that both their senatorial candidate and District 15 candidate are leading in the Montserrado County by-elections.
According to Morlu, the opposition political parties and candidates are already celebrating “a victory they don’t have.”
“We want all of our supporters to remain calm and demonstrate a high level of patriotism during this period of opposition to claim a victory that they don’t have,” he asserted.
Morlu further added, “Reports in our possession shows authoritative lead in the two by-elections and we would not follow the opposition to claim the victory or to undermine the truism of the tally sheets signed by poll watchers and records of the National Elections.”
The CDC Chairman’s comments come after the Independent candidate Kimmie Weeks, one of the candidates in the senatorial race has already congratulated opposition candidate Darius Dillon of the Liberty Party who had the backing of the collaborating opposition political parties.
Provisional results coming from the various polling centers show that Dillon is in an early lead.
Earlier, Liberty Party Chairman, Steve Zargo told a news conference results gathered by their observers from various polling centers show that Dillon is in the lead with over 20,000 votes difference.
The National Elections Commission began the tallying of results Tuesday afternoon. The NEC Chairman says final results would be released within 48 hours.
