Vote counting is underway in Liberia as incumbent President George Weah, a decorated former football star, seeks a second six-year term in a contentious rematch with former Vice President Joseph Boakai of the main opposition Unity Party (UP). Welma Mashinini Redd, president of the Liberian Community Association of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Areas and associate Professor in the School of Global Journalism at Morgan State University, tells VOA’s Douglas Mpuga, the elections seem to have gone well.
