The leadership of the Publishers Association of Liberia (PAL) says it is deeply concerned about the reported Voter’s Roll Crisis ahead of the upcoming Press Union of Liberia (PUL) election.

PUL members are slated to go to the polls this weekend to elect a new leadership to run the Union for the next three years. The elective congress, which ends with polling, should have taken place last weekend in Gbarnga, Bong County but the Union’s leadership announced a postponement due to the national census holiday declared by President Weah in a proclamation.

According to a press statement issued over the weekend, PAL says it is unfortunate that PUL as watchdog of society will be engulfed in such ugly situation ahead of the national elections in 2023.

PAL says the public depends on Journalists as watchdogs of society to lead by example especially at a time it would look up to journalists to expose the ills of elections at the national level.

PAL is therefore, urging the leadership of the PUL, the elections, and membership committees to seriously take note of the prevailing situation ahead of congress to avoid dark clouds from hanging over the elections.

The Publishers Association also calls on those expressing concerns to carefully follow all laid down procedures approaching same with caution.
