The election commission in Liberia has arrested nine temporary staff for vote tampering and electoral malpractices.
National Elections Commission Chairperson Davidetta Lassanah told journalists in Monrovia that the temporary staff were arrested in Grand Cape Mount county and in Montserrado county.
She noted that the attempted malpractices were corrected and they in no way affected the outcome of the elections.
With almost all the votes counted in the presidential election, incumbent George Weah and former Vice-President, Joseph Boakai are neck-and-neck and the election is expected to go into a run-off.
