Breaking News: Commercial Court Orders Shutdown of NEC, Properties Put Up for Sale
Monrovia, Liberia – August 19, 2025 – The Commercial Court of Liberia has ordered the immediate shutdown of the National Elections Commission (NEC), placing the institution’s properties up for sale.
The ruling follows a case in which NEC reportedly owes a local business vendor approximately US$171,000 for services rendered.
According to the court’s mandate, all NEC properties are to be auctioned to recover the debt. The order further stipulates that if the sale of NEC’s assets does not cover the amount owed, the Commissioners of the electoral body will be arrested and brought before the court.
As of Tuesday, the NEC headquarters in Monrovia remained closed under court order, leaving staff members and eyewitnesses shocked by the development.
