(NEC: May 12, 2005, Monrovia, Liberia) The Special Committee set up by the National Elections Commission (NEC) to investigate the objections raised by one Christian Peah against the published listing of the proposed Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has submitted its findings to the Board of Commissioners.

A NEC release issued today says, based upon the findings of the Committee, the Board of Commissioners will now review and give a final position of the NEC in accordance with the Guidelines Relating to the Registration of Political Parties and Independent Candidates.

NEC further informs the proposed CDC and the objector, Christian Peah that the Committee’s report read before the parties today is not the final position of the Commission.

The release pointed out that a decision on the fate of the proposed CDC and the objector will be shortly announced when all of the Commissioners return to the capital in the next few days.
