They allowed this oldie to take power peacefully now, hope he will allow next elections under him to be free and fair. If you look at it very well, Liberia is a Christian majority country. Only about 10% of the country is Islam.

That's good of him, he followed the path of Deklerk of South Africa, Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria.

Not like Yaya Jamine of The Gambia, Gbagbo of Cote D'Ivoire, Buhari, Peter Obi and Atiku of Nigeria that hell bent to destroy their countries because of electoral defeat.

APC election thieves will be looking at him like this one doesn't know how to rig. The thieves do not want to rule well yet will never want to relinquish power to those who can. Look at where they have taken Nigeria to after 8 terrible years. No direction, no vision just nothing.

Electoral defeat that came on the back of wuruwuru elections. What would it cost inec to hold a free and fair election like this African country has done? After billions spent, bvas irev rubbish are we any better than we were in 1999?

So if you're in his son shoe, you will chose to play for Liberia?
if my son doesn't believe in the country I am the president, then I am not worthy of the president of that country. A president whose son is representing another country in international football, it's morally wrong nau. Imagine Liberia playing USA in a world cup. final.

2023 presidential election is the second best election in Nigeria. BVAS exposed malpractices in increments of accredited voters.

Jonathan's case was an aberration. Goodluck Jonathan was from a minority tribe, he got the position of president by providence and despite opposition from the king makers in Nigeria. Jonathan was not that desperate to retain power as he had declared that his winning does not deserve the spilling of Nigerian blood. He was also a bit naive and was not ready to deploy the full force of the presidency to manipulate the system - both electoral body and the judiciary.
This cannot be said of the present system. Under the present system a governor cannot lose an election not to talk of the president. The executives have the whole system in the pockets including the election body, judiciary and the security forces. The elections are getting less credible and violent. The next set of elections are expected to be even worse.

That's not what's reflected by the report of international observers and the number of electoral cases in the courts. This election has the highest number of litigations contesting the elections.
Jonathan's elections had far fewer complaints and litigations.

BVAS and IReV has been sabotaged, the courts and INEC have rendered it useless and irrelevant.

Sadly, Weah could not deliver on electoral promises. He rode on the strenght of popularity as Ex football international SUPERSTAR and the perceived strenght of his youthful age but regrettably fumbled.

I am sure Peter Obi too would have fumbled same way if he won the last election (God forbid)

Weah (57 years old) won by 78 years old man. Eye clear!

This is what Atiku and Peter Obi should have done at least after the Supreme Court ruled against them

Instead of trying to incite Civil and Ethnic Unrest

It was an Election!

English comprehension my brother. I said under the present dispensation - meaning this Mahmood Yakubu / Tinubu regime. If INEC does not do the job, the appeal and supreme court will finish the job.
I alway use Rivers State and just recently Imo State as the poster examples of the new dispensation. If the Rivers elections could be validated by both INEC and the courts, I don't see any governor or president losing an election in the future.

It's not about Atiku or Obi. It about the whole electoral system which promotes getting INEC to announce a winner by hook or crook, and then asking other candidates to go to court. Once the announce winner is sworn in and has his/her hands on the levers of power, they use that power to manipulate the system.
Atiku has been challenging the presidential elections since 2007, so you cannot claim to understand the system more than he does.
