MONOVIA, LIBERIA-The Supreme Court of Liberia has declared as ineligible to contest the ensuing Legislative Elections Montserrado County District-Eleven Representative Aspirant, Thomas Nemene Tweh, commonly known as “Original Country Man”.
The Court ruled against Mr. Nemene on August 31, 2023, after he failed to meet the eligibility clause of the Revised Election Laws of Liberia.
The High Court has held the Commission’s earlier decision against Aspirant Nemene Tweh, declaring him ineligible to contest in the District because he is not domiciled there.
In the ruling, the Supreme Court affirmed that Mr. Nemene Tweh is not domiciled in Montserrado County District-Eleven, and is therefore not eligible to contest.
In recent months, respondents and representative candidates in District-Eleven, Sia Tandapollie, James Marwie, and Emmanuel Togba, filed a prohibition against the nomination of Mr. Nemene Tweh in the ensuing Legislative Election.
