If President George M. Weah wins the election, he will be stopping the reoccurrence of the election of 1869. Joseph N. Boakia wins the election, he will be broking the political record of President Edward James Roye of 1869. In the election of 1869, the sitting President James A. Paynes was defeated by Edward James Roye. It was the first time in Liberian history for a sitting President to be defeated. So we are looking to see if the record of President Roye will not be repeated or will be broken and repeated.
