All efforts made to get comment from President Johnson-Sirleaf on Tuesday’s polls failed.
Her Press Secretary Cyrus Badio told us that she won’t comment until the elections commission announces the results of elections.
But this presidential candidate, Winston Tubman from the main opposition party, CDC was willing to speak with us about the smooth and peaceful conduct of yesterday’s elections in post war Liberia.
Tubman is boasting that he will win in the first round and that he will respect the will of the Liberian people.
