General election in Liberia 2011

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The elections for the House of Representatives and for the Senate in Liberia in 2011 took place on October 11, 2011 at the same time as the presidential elections in Liberia , West Africa . The 73 seats for the parliament (" House of Representatives ") were completely re-elected, half of the 30 seats in the Senate , i.e. 15.

As a result, both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, the ruling Unity Party again won the most votes (a good 17% and 12%, respectively) of all parties, but not a majority, but only around a third of the seats.
