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 final run-off results are expected to be released within 15 days from the 14 November polling date.
