Provisional results from Liberia’s presidential election are expected tomorrow, the electoral comission’s director of communications has said. Henry Boyd Flomo told BBC Focus on Africa the vote went “very well” despite a few problems.
Everyone who was in the queue by 18:00 local time yesterday was able to vote, he said.
Because of the delays counting had been a little delayed, he said.
The best bet is tomorrow [for announcing provisional results]. We had most of the polls very late. We expect by tonight we'll get the results." Ex-football star George Weah and Vice-President Joseph Boakai are the main contenders in the race to succeed her.
To avoid a run-off, the winner of the presidential race must get 50% plus one vote.
