Liberians voted in a runoff election Tuesday to choose the West African country’s next president. Boakai and Weah were the top vote-getters in the October 10 election, with Weah getting 38.4 percent and Boakai coming in second with 28.8 percent. Since neither received a majority, a runoff election was triggered, but court challenges delayed the vote, which was originally set for November 7. Critics of Boakai, 73, have accused him of doing little as Johnson Sirleaf’s vice president. Pollsters say Tuesday’s election is too close to call, and official results aren’t expected for a few days.
