Liberia run-off poll results point to tight race
With almost a quarter of the results in, President George Weah has 49% of the votes, just behind the opposition's Joseph Boakai who has over 50%
Initial results from the presidential run-off election in Liberia point to an extremely tight race.
With almost a quarter of the results in, President George Weah has 49% of the votes, just behind the opposition’s Joseph Boakai who has over 50%.
In the first round, both men were also neck and neck – with the third placed candidate securing just two per cent of the votes.
Neither President Weah nor Boakai achieved more than 50% of the vote in the first round of the election, triggering the run-off.
The same two candidates also faced each other in the 2017 election, which ended in a run-off won by President Weah.
The final run-off results are expected to be released within 15 days from the 14 November polling date.
Liberia is still struggling with the long-term impact of civil wars and the economic impact of an Ebola outbreak as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.
