The official statistics from the National Elections Commission stated that Boakai’s request is congruent with the narrow margin of his victory over President George Weah, about one percentage point.

Elections are over; we must unite to rebuild our country; I implore Liberians, regardless of ethnicity, county, religion, or political party, to join to save our country,” Boakai referred to the civil wars that devastated the country a few years ago.

During his political campaigning, the president-elect promised to expand development nationwide, especially building roads in the southeastern region, and fight corruption as one of his priorities.
