IPNews-Monrovia The chairman of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), Mulbah Morlu has termed as dangerous political premise for the Senate Committee on Autonomous Agencies and Commissions to invite political parties for the confirmation of the National Elections Commission commissioners designate.
