On 7 October 2011 , four days prior to the election , Sirleaf was awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize . Tubman denounced the award to Sirleaf , saying that " she brought war on our country and spoiled the country " and that the award was a " provocative intervention " in Liberian politics . Sirleaf herself called the timing a coincidence and avoided mentioning the award during the final days of campaigning
