- MONROVIA: Liberia’s Supreme Court suspended campaigning for the Oct.
- 11 presidential election on Tuesday after a legal challenge to the right of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and five other candidates to run, an election commission official said.
“Yes there has been a stay order enforced by the Supreme Court of Liberia,” said the official, adding it was imposed after a challenge to the six candidates’ eligibility filed by one local party, the Movement for Progressive Change (MPC).
“We hope to hear from the Supreme Court on Friday or so — this stay order will affect the timelines we are working on if it continues for a longer time,” the official added.
