H. Bartekwa.
The Grand Kru County Senator Dr. Peter Sonpon Coleman of the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) might be the third projected incumbent Senator to be reelected and the first Senator of Grand Kru to be given a second term.
Montserrado County Senator Abraham Darius Dillon and Grand Bassa County Senator Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence have been projected as winners.
The poll of likely voters, released Wednesday by the CDC war room, headed by Matthew Wisseh, shows out of 86% of the Voting Precincts in the county, Sen. Coleman accumulated 3,236 votes, follow very closely by former Grand Kru County District #2 Numene T.H. Bartekwa, an independent candidate, with 2925 votes.
Bartekwa was a member of the Unity Party (UP) but resigned after he lost to Liberty Party candidate Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa in the 2017 election. Both men resigned from their respective parties and joined the CDC.
But Bartekwa again resigned from the CDC after he lost in the primary to Sen. Coleman. He accused the CDC of manipulating and staging the primary which caused his defeat.
Trailing is another independent candidate, Dr. Alfred Toe Segbe, with 1,589 and Grand Kru County District #1 Representive Nathaniel Zoe Barway with 1,643 votes.
Accordingly, the CDC war room statistics are well within the poll’s 3.5-point margin of error for likely voters.
“Sen. Peter Coleman of the CDC is in the commanding lead in Grand Kru County. Thanks to Hon. Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa and team,” the CDC strike force commdant Matthew Wisseh wrote on his Facebook page.
But while the poll shows a close race between Sen. Coleman and Bartekwa, support among self-proclaimed Bartekwa supporters is stronger than support for either Coleman and Segbe’s supporters.
A supporter of Bartekwa, Sion K. Wreh wrote on his Facebook’s page of a narrow lead of Bartekwa over Coleman.
Meanwhile, the remaining 14% of the precincts are expected to be in by tonight because of the remoted villages to establish the projected winner.
