Liberia's electoral body is facing renewed uncertainty following the resignation of its chairperson, Davidetta Browne-Lansanah. Her departure comes just over two years after she oversaw Liberia's closely watched 2023 presidential election, which resulted in the peaceful transfer of power from former president George Weah to current president Joseph Boakai - a moment widely seen as a positive example of democratic change in West Africa.However, Browne-Lansanah's resignation follows months of reported internal tensions within the National Elections Commission and growing political pressure.
