Liberia Presidential Election: Runoff between Joseph Boakai and George Weah

This is because none of the twenty candidates seeking to replace ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF at the end of her tenure was able to secure more than fifty percent votes for an outright win.
With all the results of the poll on Tuesday counted, GEORGE WEAH secured the highest number to score thirty-nine percent, while JOSEPH BOAKAI finished second place with twenty-nine percent.
The second round vote between WEAH and BOAKAI is expected to take place next month.
