ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- The African Union (AU) will deploy its short-term election observation (STOs) mission on Tuesday in Liberia.
The pan-African bloc has earlier deployed long-term observers in the country for presidential and legislative elections scheduled for Oct. 10.
Upon the invitation from Liberia, the Chairperson of the AU Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat has approved the deployment of the election observation mission, according to an AU statement on Monday.
The mission, which comprises 50 short-term observers, will complement the long-term observers who have been deployed to Liberia since Sept. 1, and are tasked with comprehensively assessing the electoral process for compliance with national laws and international standards.
The STOs will specifically observe the conduct of Election Day operations and immediate post-election developments, including the results management process, it noted.
