Weah maintains Liberia poll lead
Official results are slowly emerging
from Liberia's historic elections on
Tuesday following the 14-year civil war
which ended in 2003.
With votes counted from more than 80%
of the 3,000 polling stations, one of
the favourites for president, ex-
footballer George Weah, is ahead.
He has 29.8% of votes counted so far.
Another fancied contender, Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf, has 19.7%.
Observers praised the conduct of voting
and lack of violence on Tuesday.
