Former African and World Footballer of the Year, George Weah has won a senatorial seat; the same seat being sought by the son of the Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. This was announced yesterday by the chaiman of their electoral body, Jerome Korkoya. George Weah won 78% of the votes while Robert Sirleaf got almost 11%.
Originally scheduled for October, the elections were pushed back to December as Liberia struggled to contain the Ebola epidemic.
