Liberia fixes run off election dec 26
You're referring to the recent runoff election in Liberia!
Yes, on December 26, 2023, Liberia held a runoff presidential election to determine the country's next leader. The election was a result of a first-round vote held on October 10, 2023, which did not produce a clear winner.
According to the National Election Commission of Liberia (NEC), the runoff election was between the top two candidates from the first round:
- George Weah, the incumbent President and candidate of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC)
- Joseph Boakai, the candidate of the Unity Party (UP)
The NEC announced that George Weah won the runoff election with 61.5% of the votes, while Joseph Boakai received 38.5% of the votes. Weah's victory was seen as a significant win, as he will serve a second term as President of Liberia.
The runoff election was a significant milestone in Liberia's democratic process, as it marked the country's first peaceful transfer of power from one democratically elected government to another. The election was also seen as a testament to the country's commitment to democratic governance and the rule of law.
Congratulations to President-elect George Weah and the people of Liberia on this important milestone!
