IPNews-Monrovia: Barely 24 hours after an Opposition senatorial candidate convoy was set on fire in Cape Mount County, president George Weah has sharply condemned the act.
In a press Statement issued by the Ministry of Information Sunday, said president Weah “strongly condemned a reported act of political violence which took place in Porkpar District, Grand Cape Mount County.”
“The President said the government will not condone such violent action by any group of citizens and political party,” the statement added.
Early Sunday, a convoy belonging to the opposition CPP Senatorial candidate in Grand Cape Mount County, Simeon Taylor, came under attack and two of his vehicles set ablaze after a tussle ensued between rival supporters of both CDC and CPP.
The statement further said, “President Weah emphasized that elections is about the exercise of people’s democratic rights and should be void of any kind of violence. He called on all political parties and their leaders to encourage their respective partisans and supporters to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner during this campaigning period, while urging that peace and stability is paramount to the sustenance of the country’s democracy.”
“There is no need for violence at a time when our country heads to a crucial election period which would solidify our democratic credentials,” the Liberian Leaders stressed. The President then warned that the Government will not hesitate in bringing to book any group of individuals who engages in acts of violence during and after the upcoming elections,” the statement signed by Information Minister, Ledgerhood J. Rennie concluded.
It may be recalled early sunday morning report emerged from Grand Cape Mount when scores of supporters of CPP’s Grand Cape Mount candidate Simon Taylor were beaten and two vehicles belonging to the campaign team of the CPP’s candidate were set ablaze late last night following a fracas between rival supporters.
According to our Grand Cape Mount County reporter, the incident ensued when candidate Simon Taylor was lunching his campaign in Damballa Town, Porkpar District, Grand Cape Mount county, and was attacked by supporters of CDC’s candidate,Victor Watson.
Other sources confirmed to IPNews that CDC candidate Victor Watson in conspiracy with a Sierra Leonian Businessman Etris Bama, during the voter’s registration imported some Sierra Leonian who attempted cross the boarder path of Porkpar district when they were resisted by supporters of the CPP candidate Simon Taylor which resulted into tussles with an a9lleged gunfire resulting into serious injuries of two persons.
According to IPNews reporter in the area at least fifteen persons are seriously injured and were taken to a local clinic in the district for urgent treatment.
Our reporter confirmed that although the CDC’s candidate Victor Watson was not on scene, supporters of the CDC chanted party slogans challenging supporters of Simon Taylor to come out amidst men carrying dangerous weapons, including sticks and stones.
There have been no statement from the Opposition CPP over this latest incident in Grand Cape Mount County, neither the CDC’s candidate Victor Watson has issued a statement.
In Monrovia, partisans of the Opposition CPP, are climaxing the campaign of one of its widely rated candidate Abraham Darius Dillon, who in recent days has taken Montserrado County by storm.
Early this morning, scores of Dillon’s supporters were seen trooping into the Congo Town suburbs wearing white t-shirts in anticipation of their rally which is expected to begin at 12:00 PM today. Our reporter is closely following developments and IPNews will keep you updated as events unfold.
