Liberian opposition leader Joseph Boakai is holding a slight lead in a run-off election with 50.6% of the vote over President George Weah's 49.4% after tallied results from about 87% of polling stations, the West African country's elections commission said on Thursday.

Boakai and Weah emerged neck-and-neck from the first round of voting in October but below the 50% needed to secure an outright victory, leading to a run-off on Nov. 14.

The election has been widely seen as a test of for former soccer star Weah, 57, who was criticised in his first term by the opposition and Liberia's international partners for not doing enough to tackle corruption.

Boakai, 78, who lost to Weah in the 2017 election, has campaigned on the need to rescue the nation from what he calls mismanagement by Weah's istration.

George Weah should better place a call across to the prolific Manhood Yakubu to assist him....

He is good at dribbling votes to your favour, can also create chance from Nowhere and make you get 1million votes even if your population is 500,000. That's how good he is.

I hope Liberia wins in the end. enough of all these dependence on foreigners.

The opposition will win

That's what matters. Whether George Weah thing was just emotional being a legend in Liberia.
Liberia even remains poorer than how he met it.

George Wear should dribble past his opponent

Boys and men things

🤔

Real and proper election

Inconclusive

Yakubu..... Right now

Weah should call tinubu for secret

According to some Liberians, Weah no try at all.

Nothing concern me but E dey mind

Election is like

*When you belong to a winning team the election is free and fair

*When your part loses it's rig and malpractice

*When APC lost the Osun/Edo election to PDP Dino turned himself into a Musician and praised the election process

*When he lost Kogi to APC the music changed.

It's like this in many parts of the world, there must be a winner and a loser.

If you don't win today you can win another day..... Stop the bitterness

ELLU P!

Nigeria has to learn everything from all the countries of the world, including how to run a transparent election.

Perhaps the only thing other countries can learn from our leaders is how to loot their countries with reckless abandon!

Just call our INEC guys and you will win .. simple

There's something we're yet to discover in world politics and it's correlation to older men and the young generation. That's my next thesis/research topic

They are giving George Weah a run for his money

You are president of Liberia while your son is playing for USA team

How will you elicit loyalty among your countrymen

lordm:
The opposition will win

So in 2017 the Presidential candidate was 78

This is 2023 he will be how old now

Africa is gone

Walahi

Loooool

Good they have a country that has rule of law. I wish them success in the final election.

President Weah should recruit Yakubu at once, if he wishes to win.

Small Liberia is showing us how democracy is run.

So Donald Trump is on Nairaland.

Weah is not doing well. He should be kicked out

George Weah used Liberia taxpayers money go Qatar go watch his son play for USA.

Such a person has no business returning as a president again.
