Liberian general election, 1985

Liberian general election, 1985

Liberia held Presidential and Legislative elections on 15 October 1985. These were the first elections since the 12 April 1980 military coup that brought Samuel Doe to power. The polls were marred by allegations of widespread fraud and rigging. Many independent observers believed that the LAP's Jackson Doe, who officially finished second, was the actual winner. The period after the elections saw increased human rights abuses, corruption, and ethnic tensions.
