The Liberia National Union has congratulated Jonathan Weedor on his nomination by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr. as Chairperson of the National Elections Commission (NEC) of Liberia.
LINU, a smaller political party said the nominee has integrity and unwavering commitment to public service.
“Mr. Weedor brings 16 years of distinguished service at the NEC, including his role as Co-Chair, with an impeccable record marked by professionalism and transparency,” it said.
“His depth of experience and institutional knowledge uniquely position him to strengthen the independence and impartiality of the NEC, thereby reinforcing the trust of the Liberian people in the electoral process.”
Dr. Clarence K. Moniba, Political Leader of LINU, emphasized the urgency of strong leadership at this pivotal time:
“The NEC faces significant challenges, and strong, credible leadership is needed now more than ever. Elections serve as the foundation of Liberia’s development, and we are confident that this nomination reflects a sound decision based on merit. Mr. Weedor’s unwavering commitment to the service of our nation will undoubtedly strengthen the NEC.
“Regardless of the criticism going around that there are many qualified people in Liberia – there is absolutely no one better qualified than Jonathan Weedor, at this moment, to lead the Commission. Let us not politicize everything. As members of the opposition, when something is good for our nation, we must be willing to acknowledge and support it.”
LINU calls on the Liberian Senate to provide prompt and favorable consideration of Mr. Weedor’s nomination, enabling him to assume office without delay and guide the NEC with integrity and excellence.
