Liberias-Ellen-Johnson-Sirleaf |
Nobel Peace Prize winner and Liberia’s former President
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is heading for Zimbabwe to co-lead a joint
international observer delegation of the International Republic
Institute and the National Democratic Institute for the July 30
harmonised elections.
Sirleaf will be joined by United States Congresswoman, Mrs Karen Bass
and former US Assistant Secretaries, Mr Connie Berry Newman and
Ambassador Johnnie Carson. In a statement last Friday, the joint mission
said it had received accreditation from the Zimbabwe Electoral
Commission for it to commence work in earnest. Sirleaf’s team comprises
of 25 long-term staff who are already in Zimbabwe, including 14
long-term observers covering all 10 provinces of Zimbabwe.
