The West Africa Democracy Solidarity Network (WADEMOS), a transnational civil society network embarked on a pre-election solidarity mission to Liberia from August 28 – September 4, 2023, ahead of the forthcoming presidential and legislative elections scheduled for October 10, 2023.
This activity is an acknowledgment of the common democratic principles shared by civil society activists in the ECOWAS subregion as well as the unanimity among civil society and other civic actors in the West African subregion to support Liberia to consolidate its emerging and fragile democracy.
The mission, which takes after WADEMOS pre-election and election-day missions this year in Nigeria and Sierra Leone, involved a series of meetings with election stakeholders to deepen learning, experience sharing, and knowledge exchange among civil society and other election relevant stakeholders, particularly with the emerging realities of elections in recent times in the sub-region.
