President Weah did a lot of things that denied him our votes. - failed to punish crimes - led the country based on party line - failed to listen to the plights of the citizens - his name appeared in every drug issue in the country - Ritualistic killing increased and the list go on and on. So, We hope he has learned from this big lesson taught by the Liberian people. And this should also be a lesson for the president elect, Joseph Nyumah BOAKAI, that if he followed suit he would also be treated the same way

This is the answer to our prayers for peace. God is working for us because some of his party members wanted otherwise. We continue to pray for JNB to deliver.

Thanks for the dissimilation of information to the larger extent. VOA is very informative. I love watching VOA because of their collective information from around the world. It's now 6:57PM in Monrovia.

Your analysis is party based James. If it was George Weah that wasn’t speaking your comment would’ve been different. Notwithstanding, Liberia has made a statement.

The man has not a single dignity. Had he not succeeded in ballot stuffing he would have likely ended up with approximately 15% of the votes. He cheated and yet was not successful in rigging the elections; God is great

I pray that the new government sees what the most important changes that Liberia needs. Every government in Liberia after president Tobert has not focused on what's important in the country. Number one is Education, parents still can't afford to put their children in school. If we call ourselves America's step child, why can't we take the positive things of America and apply it to our own country? We should have free education from preschool through highschool. Secondly, Liberians need jobs. We have no manufacturing or processing plants in Liberia, bigger companies come in and take the resources out of the country and open manufacturing plants somewhere else. Our government need to renegotiate their contracts.

Well balanced Interview. I believe the Host touched on important aspects of the Subject matter. The Guests were forthcoming in their Observations and Comments about the just ended Presidential Election. Whereas, the Outgoing President was magnanimous in His reaction to the Outcome, setting the Pace for a new Chapter on African Democracy. With the Global Economic Challenges ahead, the Incoming Administration will need the support of all Liberians, 3:23 including those in the Hinterland to play their part in fostering Peace, National Unity and Economic Development.

That was the first time to have such a narrow result in an African Elections. The incumbent could have cheated and nobody was going to know this is Africa Bro. George Weah did a job well done. You have to understand Africa politics and how this election results could influence it.

@@michaelbedu3426, who says there weren’t attempts? This was the frist time in my entire life that citizens/voters stood/stayed at polling places to protect their own vote. Waited until the count was over. The opposition did not have funds for campaign unlike the CDC who’s campaign budget was around 50 million US.

It beats my imagination to see James playing politics in this interview instead of saying the reality. Who told James that government workers weren’t pay three months prior to the election? What part of the southeast did Amb Joseph Boakai visited to campaign? The act of not being realistic in the public space is unpatriotic.
