Monrovia, Liberia — The National Elections Commission (NEC) of Liberia has announced a series of significant personnel changes, including transfers and promotions, aimed at strengthening the Commission’s leadership and internal efficiency. The reshuffle affects three major departments: Communications, Political Affairs, and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E).
According to an official release, the NEC Board of Commissioners approved these changes following recommendations from the Department of Administration and the Secretariat.
Under the new restructuring, Mr. Prince Dunbar, former Director of Communications, has been appointed as Director of Political Affairs. Known for his outstanding leadership and long-standing service to the Commission, Mr. Dunbar is expected to bring strong strategic insight and coordination to his new portfolio.
Replacing him is Mr. Titus W. Tokpah Sr., who has been promoted from Deputy Director to Director of Communications. Since joining the Commission in July 2024, Mr. Tokpah has played a vital role in shaping NEC’s public image—strengthening relationships with the media, improving public engagement, and expanding the visibility of its programs and initiatives.
Meanwhile, Mr. Michael A. Clarke, formerly Director of Political Affairs, has been reassigned to lead the Monitoring and Evaluation Section. Mr. Clarke, who previously served as Deputy Director of M&E, brings a wealth of institutional experience and proven management skills to his new position. His return is intended to boost performance tracking and program accountability within the Commission.
NEC’s Director of Human Resource, Mrs. Pauline K. Kawreh, through Deputy Executive Director for Administration Mr. Samuel B. Cole and Executive Director and Head of Secretariat Mr. Anthony K. Sengbe, recommended the personnel moves to fill critical staffing gaps and enhance operational performance.
The Commission described these adjustments as part of its ongoing effort to strengthen efficiency, promote merit-based advancement, and ensure the effective implementation of NEC’s constitutional mandate.
