JOHANNESBURG - George Weah has been voted president of Liberia after clinching 12 of the 15 counties in the west African country.
Weah has taken to Twitter to thank all his supporters, saying that he plans to liberate the country.
The former AC Milan striker becomes the 25th president of the country.
His opponent, 73-year-old Joseph Boakai - who has been the country's president for the last 12 years, got only two counties to vote for him.
It is with deep emotion that I want to thank you, the Liberian people, for honoring me with your vote today. It is a great hope. #Liberia #Liberia2017

Congratulations Mr. President elect, George M. Weah.
Its always good to wait upon the lord. He has waited for far too look after he defeated the outgoing president, Johnson Sirlife in the first round but unfortunately lost during run-off. It's a lesson to all of us.
Same old mistake again! Results are not anywhere near being declared. George Weah himself only thanked people for voting for him in his tweet and congratulatory headlines are already flying around. He may very well have won it but wait till this is officially confirmed...
CONGRATS GEORGE WEAH. YOU WON THE ELECTIONS 8 YEARS AGO BUT THE FOREIGN POWERS USED THE AUTHORITY TO DENY YOU THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT AND PLACED THEIR OWN CRONY THERE. EVEN THIS PARTICULAR ELECTIONS THE SAME FOREIGN POWERS WERE TRYING TO UNDERMINE YOU TELLING THEIR PROPAGANDA STORIES THAT IF YOU WON THE LIBERIA ELECTIONS YOU WOULD BRING BACK CHARLES TAYLOR, BUT GOD ALWAYS KNOWS BEST AND WHEN TO COME IN. YOU TOILED FOR LIBERIA AND NEVER LET THE COUNTRY DOWN DURING YOUR HEY DAYS IN FOOTBALL. THIS IS YOUR REWARD FOR YOUR SACRIFICE FOR LIBERIA. GOD WILL SURELY GUIDE YOU TO RULE LIBERIA AND TAKE LIBERIA OUT OF ITS OLD SCARS. MY PRAYER WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU. ONCE MORE I SAY BIG CONGRATS, WEAH

CONGRATS, CHAMPION MAESTRO.
