Liberian presidential election 1927: fraudulent election reported in history

Updated: Mar 18, 2021

Politics, known as the most corrupted occupation around the world. There’s no wonder why- we have enough examples to be reasonable for this thinking. But have you heard of holding Guinness's world record of fraud? It may sound baseless but it’s true. here you going to learn one more example.


In the 1927 presidential election, Thomas Faulkner stands against Charles D B king. King became Liberia's President in 1920 and served for 10 years. According to an official, King received 234,000 votes. however, at that time Liberia had only 15000 voters. even though he took the oath of presidential and carried his position for more than 3 years.



perhaps, this victory did not help him to earn a good politician image, but he managed to put his name in the Guinness Book of Records for the most fraudulent election reported in history. 1927 presidential election of Liberia holds the Guinness world record for most fraudulent election.
