The official from George Weah’s political party said that he will agree with the outcome of the general election that took place on Tuesday.
Jefferson Koijee, the head of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change, said to the media: “This person has repeatedly expressed that he values the peace of our country more than his own interests. ”
But Mr Koijee said that Mr Weah, who used to play football and is now 57 years old, will not lose.
Election officials said that many people came out to vote in Liberia’s fourth election after the war.
The votes are still being counted. The electoral commission will start announcing the results at 4:30 PM local time (5:30 PM BST).
Mr Weah will likely have to deal with his toughest opponent, former Vice-President Joseph Boakai, who is 78 years old and belongs to the Unite Party. Boakai was the assistant to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf while she was the leader of the country.
