Ghana midfielder Michael Essien has sent a good luck message to Liberian Presidential candidate George Oppong Weah ahead of the re-run of the election.
Liberia's Supreme Court has ruled that evidence of fraud during October's first round of presidential elections was insufficient to merit a re-run.
This means the final round of voting between the two leading candidates - ex-footballer George Weah and Vice-President Joseph Boakai - can go ahead.
The electoral commission will now set a date for the delayed vote.
Liberty Party's representative Charles Brumskine, who came third in the first round, had challenged the result.
The second round of voting to succeed President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had initially been set for 7 November.

Warped journalism by sub standard journalist. This guy can't even differentiate between run off and re-run. If the Liberian Supreme upheld the fir2round of elections then we are heading for a run off mot re run. A re reun would taken place if the court ruled that the first round of elections was tainted with fraud and should be cancelled
