The West African Elders Forum (WAEF) has sued for calm and patience in Liberia as the citizens await the final tallying and official declaration of the results of last Tuesday's general elections by the country's National Electoral Commission (NEC).
The Forum which deployed a mediation mission to Liberia a few days before the elections also cautioned the politicians and their supporters to desist from announcing unconfirmed results in order not to heat up the polity.
The West Africa Elders Forum Mediation Mission to Liberia, 2023, commends Liberians for their patriotism and belief in the nation's democracy, given their peaceful conduct and the large turnout of voters during the October 10, 2023, general elections. The Forum is equally impressed with the deployment and professionalism of the Joint Security Team. We call on them to remain vigilant and for all Liberians to remain calm as we await the official announcement of the results by the National Electoral Commission.
The Forum is encouraged by the commitment of the National Electoral Commission to deliver on its mandate of concluding the electoral process in a transparent manner that renews the hope, trust and confidence of the Liberian people on the nation's democracy.
