President George Weah
The United States has declared its intention to impose visa restrictions on individuals involved in undermining the upcoming elections in Liberia, scheduled for next month.
This measure is aimed at deterring actions that could compromise the democratic process, including election manipulation, rigging, violence, or any other activities designed to inappropriately influence the election's outcome.
The U.S. State Department clarified that these visa restrictions are a reflection of the United States' commitment to supporting the people of Liberia in their pursuit of a free and fair electoral process. While the statement did not mention specific individuals, it underscores the importance of upholding democratic principles and ensuring that the upcoming elections are conducted with integrity.
In the upcoming elections, President George Weah is seeking a second term in office, facing opposition leader Joseph Boakai, who was the defeated candidate in the previous election held five years ago.
