Retired Liberia footballer and once named FIFA World Player, George Weah, has won the presidential runoff election in Liberia to become the country’s 25th president.
“I am deeply grateful to my family, my friends, and my loyal supporters who contributed to our campaign during this extremely long election season,” Weah said on Twitter before the results were announced.
Weah defeated 73-year-old incumbent Vice President, Joseph Boakai
Weah is set to replace Africa’s first female head of state, economist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and see the West African nation, founded by freed American slaves, hand over power from one democratically elected government to another.
