Polls have closed in Liberia’s presidential run-off, in which voters chose whether to hand former football star George Weah a second term in office or elect political veteran Joseph Boakai.
In the first round on October 10, Weah, 57, took 43.83 percent of the votes while Boakai, 78, won 43.44 percent. The incumbent’s edge of just 7,126 votes had built anticipation for a closely contested second round on Tuesday.
