MONROVIA — The National Elections Commission (NEC) has issued certificates to senators-elect James Biney and Numene T.H. Biney contested on the ticket of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), while Bartekwa contested as Independent candidate. Also presented with his certificate was representative-elect Frank Saah Foko of the ruling CDC. Foko, a former staff to deceased CDC lawmaker Munah Pelham, won the by-election in electoral district nine in Monsterrado County. Senator-elect Biney, speaking on behalf of his colleague Bartekwa, stressed the need for NEC to be capacitated financially to enable the commission control its own budget.
