Weah has taken to Twitter to thank all his supporters, saying that he plans to liberate the country.
The striker-turned politician becomes the 25th president of the country.
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— George Weah (@GeorgeWeahOff) December 26, 2017
Weah is set to replace Africa’s first female head of state, economist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and see the West African nation, founded by freed American slaves, hand over power from one democratically elected government to another.
