Liberia’s presidential race will see a run-off vote according to the country’s supreme court. The country’s highest court dismissed a fraud complaint in the first round of voting in October from the third place finisher Charles Brunsline.
The court said on December 7 that it had not found enough evidence of fraud to halt the run off between Vice President Joseph Boakai and former soccer player George Weah.
“In the absence of sufficient evidence, the court cannot order a re-run of the election,” Justice Philip Banks said, reading out the court’s decision.
Justice Banks went on to say that the country had over 5,000 polling places so to “present evidence of just a few is problematic. The evidence should have (shown) … that they were committed in such magnitude that they could have altered the results.”
