Anthony Williams, a former student leader at the University of Liberia, has beaten the sitting Speaker of Liberia’s House of Representatives Bhofal Chambers in the election for the Plebo Sodoken District legislative seat.
The reports from the county say Williams has accumulated 8,017 votes while Chambers got 7,919, as of the electoral body’s data from October 16.
However, the final tally sheet from the Magisterial Office in Harper, Maryland County, shows that Williams has defeated Chambers with 8,158 votes against 8,122—a difference of 36 votes.
Bhofal Chambers, the once all-powerful Speaker of the House of Representatives, will not be returning to the Capitol Building in the next legislature.
