Liberia's Nimba County By-election Results Fluctuate, Impacting Political Landscape

Provisional results from the Nimba County Senatorial By-election reveal a close contest between Edith Gongloe Weh and Samuel Gongben Kogar of the Movement of Democracy and Reconstruction, with leads shifting as more votes are counted. As of the latest updates, Kogar holds a slight lead with 44.05% of the vote compared to Weh's 43.80%, based on 42.66% of polling places tallied. Over 307,000 voters are registered in Nimba County, meaning a significant number of votes remain uncounted. The National Elections Commission is providing twice-daily updates until counting concludes. One candidate, R. Matenokay Tingban, has already conceded and congratulated Kogar, urging peaceful acceptance of the final results.
