— Presumptive Senator-elect for Gbarpolu County, Botoe Kanneh, expresses gratitude Botoe Kanneh, Gbarpolu County’s presumptive Senator-elect, has hailed women rights advocates for her victory among nine male political candidates if the National Elections Commission’s final result will render her the victory. Since former President Charles Taylor established the county, Madam Kanneh is the first female to contest in an election to become a presumed winner after contentious electoral disputes that led to the re-run of the process. Madam Kanneh in an interview told Daily Observer, “I could have fallen prey for the second time had it not been for those women who stood up to ensure that my victory comes to pass.”
