By Lennart Dodoo, [email protected]On Monday, NEC released from 5,467 of 5,890 polling places across the country, constituting 92.98% of the total polling places. Weah, as of Monday, has obtained 43.65 percent of the total valid votes while Amb. The NEC announced results from all polling places in River Cess, Lofa, and Gbarpolu Counties, while the outstanding 12 counties are nearing completion. Pundits believe the remaining 7.02% of the votes cannot catapult any of the candidates to victory, thereby, necessitating the need for a runoff election. Under Article 83(a) of the Constitution, the presidential run-off elections must be held on the second Tuesday following the announcement of the results of the first round.
