 Reparing Liberia's slow leak in 2005
It is very important that the outcome and campaign tactics of the 2005 would seek to unify Liberians in the rebuilding of Liberia, rather than seek to polarize the country through manipulation of the elections results as was so common in Liberian history, beginning with Liberian chief executive and colonial master Jehudi Ashmun in 1826.
Ashmun justified single-handedly nullifying the results of the elections this way, “The Agent...has the high satisfaction of finding himself sustained by a body of assistants, in whose good dispositions and capacity he has great confidence" (Gurley, Ralph Randolph, Life of Jehudi Ashmun (1794-1828), late colonial agent in Liberia, Negro Universities Press, New York, 1835).
Similarly, another Liberian chief executive, President Charles D. King made name for himself in Guinness Book Of World Records by winning the Liberian presidential elections of 1927 with a majority of 234,000 votes when the official voters roll stood at only 15,000 registered voters, or 151/2 time less than the winning.
