Monrovia as Liberians go to the poll on 10 October. The posh residence is currently occupied by President George Weah. The former World Footballer of the Year is seeking reelection for a second term as his six-year term comes to an end on 22 January next year.
Mrs Johnson-Sirleaf supported Mr Weah her party’s candidate, Mr Boakai who was her vice president during her two terms in office. But her alliance with Mr Weah has broken down., Mr Weah promised “to do everything in my power to be the agent of positive change.” The West African nation of five million people is one of the poorest countries in the world, with about half its people living on less than $1.90 a day, according to the World Bank.
