22 January 2018. Monrovia: Crowds of people celebrate after the Liberia Presidential Inauguration at the Samuel Canyon Doe Sports Complex in Monrovia, Liberia.
Former football player, George Manneh Weah, took the oath of office as the 24th President of the Republic of Liberia at the main stadium outside Monrovia. The oath was administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia, Francis Korkpor , marking the first peaceful transfer of power in 73 years from one elected President to another.
Weah of the main opposition Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) won the presidential runoff election in December 26, against outgoing Vice President Joseph Boakai of the former ruling Unity Party (UP).
