利比里亚（美联社）——利比里亚总统当选人约瑟夫·博阿卡伊的政党周二宣布取消所有剩余的胜利庆祝活动，此前一天当局表示一名司机驾车冲向人群，造成至少三人死亡，17人受伤。

博阿卡伊的统一党在一份声明中表示：“我们对这起毁灭性、邪恶和野蛮的国内恐怖行为导致宝贵生命的丧失，向受影响的家庭和朋友表示哀悼和慰问。”

“我们敦促当局进行彻底和透明的调查，以确定原因并追究责任人的责任，”声明补充道。

当局表示，一辆没有车牌的吉普车司机关闭了车辆的灯光，故意冲向正在庆祝11月14日总统选举决选结果的统一党支持者聚集。

根据国家选举委员会的数据，博阿卡伊在第二轮投票中以50.64%的得票率获胜，而现任总统乔治·威亚获得了49.36%的得票率。

Weah had already conceded defeat several days earlier based on the release of provisional results, and urged his supporters to respect the vote’s outcome.

The incumbent government on Tuesday extended its sympathies to the families of the victims. But in a news release urged the public “to refrain from making unsubstantiated claims about the incident, which has the potential of stoking post-elections violence.”

“The government takes particular note of a Unity Party statement, which appears to have drawn a conclusion, by terming the incident as domestic terrorism while at the same time urging the police to investigate the cause of the incident,” the news release said. ____
