Liberty Party, which placed third in the first round of Liberia's presidential elections, on Monday submitted a complaint to the elections commission. It called for NEC to annul the result won by former soccer star George Weah, the document showed. The complaint was filed by the presidential and vice-presidential candidates as well as all representative candidates of Liberty Party. In its complaint, LP alleges various problems ranging from the late opening of polls to the absence of queue controllers but also included fraud allegations, including by NEC officials. "These elections were characterised by gross irregularities and fraud, which undermined the integrity of the elections and deprived thousands of Liberians of their constitutional right to vote," the document said.
