C. Juah Setro Dennis, the Unity Party candidate vying for Grand Bassa County Electoral District#5 representative seat, remains resolute in her quest for justice, firmly stating that she will not back off until justice is served.
Candidate Dennis is fervently urging the National Elections Commission (NEC) to address her concerns regarding a recount in Old Camp and reruns in Zono and Gbowee, where she alleges malpractices and voter obstruction during the 10 October elections.
Dennis has been vocal about her demand for a recount in Old Camp Precinct (Code 09007) and reruns in Zono Precinct (Code 09013) and Gbowee.
She asserts that voters were unjustly denied their right to cast their ballots, highlighting several instances of alleged irregularities.
In an exclusive interview on Thursday, October 27, 2023, Dennis detailed her complaints, stating that supervisors at these precincts prematurely closed the polling stations at 6 p.m., even though many voters were still waiting in queue, effectively disenfranchising a significant number of them.
Furthermore, she expresses concerns about the Gbowee area, where she claims that ballot boxes arrived late in the night, resulting in many voters having already left the polling centers.
This situation left only election workers with the opportunity to cast their votes, raising serious doubts about the fairness of the electoral process in that region.

In her pursuit of justice, Dennis initially filed a complaint with the local magistrate in Buchanan, Grand Bassa. However, she later transferred the case back to Monrovia for an official hearing by the NEC. The case is currently pending before the National Elections Commission.
In the face of her quest for justice, Dennis has faced alleged threats to her life by unknown individuals. These threats have compelled her to move the case from her district to NEC in the capital, Monrovia, in search of a fair resolution.
Despite the challenges and potential risks involved, she remains unwavering in her determination to press for a recount of the ballot boxes at the specified polling centers, emphasizing that she will not back down until justice is served. Editing by Jonathan Browne
