Elections Controversies <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In recent memory of the Union, the Gbarnga, Bong County PUL Congress, including the elections, is inarguably to date, the most controversial of all others because of all the hullabaloos, innuendos, verbal and written insults, that accompanied the processes leading to the election itself, which happened unprecedentedly very late evening.<\/p>\n

Voting was only allowed to go ahead after another controversial legal tussle in which a Writ of Injunction that was placed on the processes and some individuals on Friday, November 18, 2022, was \u201cvacated\u201d on Saturday, November 19, by the order of the Bong County 9^{th<\/sup> Judicial Circuit Court Judge J. Boima Konto.<\/p>\n}
