The CDC Europe Chapter referenced Mr. Weedor’s conduct during the 2023 electoral process, alleging that he publicly aligned himself with claims of a first-round victory for the Unity Party—claims that contradicted the NEC’s official position at the time. “A man who has so publicly demonstrated partisan bias…cannot be trusted to sit at the helm of the National Elections Commission,” the group asserted. The CDC Europe Chapter emphasized that Liberia’s legal framework clearly mandates the independence of the NEC. The CDC Europe Chapter also raised alarm over Mr. Weedor’s reported designation as Acting Chairman during the Senate’s recess, warning that such a move grants him access to sensitive electoral materials prior to confirmation hearings. Appealing directly to lawmakers, the CDC Europe Chapter urged senators to exercise their constitutional oversight role responsibly.
