LIBERIANS will return to the polls on 7th November 2017 to choose their next President between candidates George Weah of CDC and Joseph Boakai of the ruling Unity Party. Both are frontrunners in the first round of balloting held on October 10.
According to the final tally of the first round by National Electoral Commission, NEC, Liberia, Weah led the pack of the 20 contenders with 39 percent followed by Boakai with 29 percent.
There will be vote recount in one District in Nimba County, where the margin of victory for a candidate was 19 votes.
But this will not significantly alter the overall result of the first round.
