Template:Politics of Liberia General elections were held in Liberia on 10 October 2023 to elect the President, House of Representatives and half the Senate.[1][2] Incumbent president George Weah was eligible for a second term.[3] No candidate won a majority in the first round, with Weah narrowly placing first over opposition leader Joseph Boakai, which meant both advanced to a runoff held on 14 November 2023.[4][5] Boakai defeated Weah 51% to 49% in the closest runoff in Liberia’s history, and Weah conceded the election peacefully.[6][7]

European Union observers described the runoff as remarkably close and well administered, saying; "the conduct of the voting process in observed polling stations as very good". EU observers further added the campaign was largely peaceful and quiet. EU observers concluded political freedoms of candidates and supporters were largely respected, but the use of state resources by the ruling party distorted the level playing field.[8] ECOWAS also congratulated all stakeholders on the "largely" peaceful elections, although it noted isolated incidents in the provinces of Lofa, Nimba, Bong and Montserrado, which resulted in "injuries and hospitalisation".[9]

選舉方式[编辑]

總統選舉採用兩輪選舉制,[10];而議會選擇則採用單一選區簡單多數制選舉。[11]

Candidates[编辑]

Sara Beysolow Nyanti is an international development and humanitarian expert as well as a Liberian pastor. She has 25 years of professional experience and recently retired from the United Nations at the level of Assistant Secretary-General. Her last assignment with the UN was as Deputy Representative of the Secretary-General to South Sudan. She ran for president representing the African Liberation League.

In January 2022, Nathaniel Barnes, a former Liberian ambassador to the United States (2008–2010), announced his intention to run for the presidency as an independent candidate.[12]

Clarence Moniba, the leader of the Liberia National Union, announced on 20 January 2023 that he would run for the presidency.[13]

Joseph Boakai, Former Vice President of Liberia (2006–2018) and candidate for president in 2017, announced that he would run for the presidency again.[14]

Alexander B. Cummings Jr., a former chief administrative officer of Coca-Cola (2008–2016) who finished fifth in the 2017 presidential election, announced he would run for president again as the Alternative National Congress candidate with Charlyne Brumskine as his running mate.[15]

George Weah, incumbent president of Liberia, announced that he would seek a second term in 2023.[16]

Conduct[编辑]

The election was generally considered fair and free by both international and domestic watchdog groups. ECOWAS's Head of Election Mission Liberia, Attahiru Jega, praised the electorate for their orderliness and decorum in casting votes. He also commended the country's politicians for the same orderliness and abiding by electoral etiquette. Jega also noted that this would be the first Liberian election without the presence of United Nations election observers, with most election security being performed by domestic agencies, namely in the form of the Elections Coordinating Committee which deployed several hundred observers across the country.[17][18][19] However, observers from the African Union, European Union, ECOWAS, and the United States would still be present.[20] During the course of the election, observers followed the balloting across the country and only noted a few minor incidents with the National Elections Commission (NEC) having 14 days to fully count and report all ballots.[21] However, notably, Unity Party campaign spokesman Mohammed Ali falsely claimed that the ECOWAS observers accepted a $150,000 bribe from the CDC to compromise its neutral role as an observer; in response the Unity Party quickly denounced the statement.[22]

On 13 November, the day before the presidential runoff, Justice Minister Frank Musah Dean issued a warning to the participating parties to not announce the results prior to the NEC, warning that doing so would result in partisan violence. However, as the first results started to be reported on 15 November high-ranking members of both the CDC and the Unity Party took to social media to announce that their parties had won the election. Among them was former Finance Minister, sitting senator from Gbarpolu County, and the Unity Party's campaign coordinator, Amara Konneh, who claimed that with 85% of the vote counted Joseph Boakai held a 40,910 vote lead. Other Unity Party figures, such as sitting representative Yekeh Kolubah, took to the streets with his supporters celebrating a yet to be confirmed Boakai victory, and former warlord Joshua Milton Blahyi promised "retaliation" against the CDC now that they no longer held the presidency, claiming that the CDC supported political violence.[23]

By 17 November, the vast majority of the run-off election ballots had been counted, suggesting Weah had lost re-election by a slim margin and that Boakai had won. However, it was announced that the election would need to be re-held in Nimba County on 18 November, after it was revealed one polling station had a greater number of cast ballots than the number of registered voters.[24]

Liberia has an established history of civil violence following contested elections, particularly the 1985 Liberian coup d'état attempt which was the root cause of the First Liberian Civil War. Meanwhile, Linda Thomas Greenfield, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, warned that the U.S. would call out anyone who undermines the electoral process through fraud, violence, or intimidation, while ECOWAS, seeking to prevent another entry in the growing West African Coup Belt, urged for calm during the vote count and expressed disappointment in premature claims of victory.[25][23] Additionally, the West African Elders Forum Mission to Liberia called for caution and restraint and denounced political figures claiming victory prematurely and called for leaders to prevent their followers from taking to the streets in violent clashes.[26] The Angie Brooks International Center also called for calm, cautioning that they don’t want any Liberians dead or victimized because of elections.[27]

Results[编辑]

President[编辑]

The presidential runoff was held on 14 November 2023.[28] Boakai defeated Weah 51% to 49% in the closest runoff in Liberia's electoral history. Weah conceded the election peacefully in an address to the nation on the evening of 17 November.[29][30]
