After first round of election that saw George Weah and Joseph Boakai finish in the last two, Liberians began voting on Tuesday to decide whether to hand former football star George Weah a second term as president or to elect political veteran Joseph Boakai despite his age.
The run-off is expected to be close between the rivals, who also faced off in 2017 when Weah won in the second round with more than 61 per cent.
George Weah finished first with 78% of votes and Bakai came second with 57% of votes in the first round of elections held two weeks back.
The president narrowly won the first round but failed to get more than 50% of the vote, triggered a run-off.
This is the fourth presidential election since Liberia’s second civil war, which ended more than 20 years ago and resulted in the deaths of more than 50,000 people.
It was gathered that the turnout for the run-off election is high as Liberians are “hungry to vote”.
Images of long queues of people at polling stations have been captured in and around the city.
