Liberia vote goes to second round

Posted on October 17, 2005 by CD

(Here’s an update on the Liberian elections, as promised. Seems to have gone pretty smoothly. No big surprises in the results – footballer Weah leads economist Johnson-Sirleaf, as expected. 74% of registered voters turned out!)

Liberians will vote again in a second round of presidential elections after last week’s ballot proved inconclusive, the country’s election commission said.
Former soccer star George Weah has won almost 29% of the vote, with ballots from 90% of polling stations counted.
However, this will be short of the 51% he needed for an outright win.
Mr Weah is now set to face nearest rival Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf in November to decide who becomes Liberia’s first elected head since the civil war ended.
Ms Johnson-Sirleaf, a former finance minister and veteran opposition politician, has secured nearly 20% of the votes counted so far – a fair way ahead of the third-placed candidate Charles Brumskine.
