Liberia is currently holding its presidential election, with incumbent President George Weah seeking a second term. Weah, a former soccer star, faces allegations of corruption and economic hardship during his first term. The election is seen as a test of his popularity. The country's electoral commission has announced that vote counting is underway. The outcome of the election will have significant implications for Liberia's future. The rise of military authority and the demise of electoral processes in Africa are also highlighted, as seen in the recent coup in Gabon.
