Liberia elections

After failing to secure an outright majority in last week's presidential election in Liberia, 51-year-old former World Footballer of the Year, George Weah, will slog it out with 73-year-old Vice President Joe Boakai in a face-off that promises to be intriguing.
The political horse-trading has already begun ahead of 7 November run-off, with both candidates trying to win over the 18 others they defeated.

It is not clear immediately which way the alliances will go to produce the country¹s first democratic transfer of power in several generations.
In what seems to be a fight between young and older voters, Mr Boakai, the ruling party candidate, hopes to score a hat-trick against a football legend who hopes to be third time lucky.
Mr Weah obtained 39% and Mr Boakai 29% of votes cast in Tuesday after nearly all polling stations were counted.
