Daniel Nyakonah Jr. Criticizes PUL Elections as Undemocratic

Monrovia – The immediate past Vice President of the Press Union of Liberia (PUL), Daniel Nyakonah, Jr., has vehemently criticized the recent elections held under the Union’s interim leadership, calling them undemocratic and a stain on the journalism community in Liberia.

In a statement released today, Nyakonah lambasted the electoral proceedings conducted by the interim leaders, including Peter Quaqua, for undermining democratic principles. “The recent actions during the PUL elections bring not only our democratic values into question but also cast a long shadow of disgrace over the journalistic integrity in our country,” Nyakonah said.

Nyakonah accused the interim leadership of fostering division rather than healing longstanding fractures within the Union, particularly criticizing their support for Julius K. Kanubah’s presidency. He pointed out a controversial move by the leadership to seek legal advice from a judge not seated in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court, which had previously adjudicated the Union’s persistent electoral disputes. “Engaging a judge not assigned to our case shows a clear desperation to usurp control over the Union, disregarding legal norms and precedents,” he added.

The process was further marred by inconsistencies and alleged fraud, Nyakonah noted, highlighting the inclusion of resigned members on the ballot and the exclusion of notable former leaders like Charles B. Coffey, Jr., and Musa Kenneh from the voting rolls. “Such manipulations silence critical voices within an organization that stands as a beacon of democracy in Liberia,” he asserted.

The Press Union of Liberia, recognized for its crucial role in advocating for press freedom and protecting journalists, now faces a crisis of confidence under the current leadership, comprising Peter Quaqua, Frank Sanworla, and Tom Winston Mombo, according to Nyakonah. He calls for immediate remedial actions to restore the integrity and democratic foundations of the Union.
