In the 3rd batch of results released by NEC today Friday, incumbent President George Weah has taken a slight lead over opposition candidate, Joseph Boakai.

Weah polled 216,344, representing 44.56%, while Boakai polled 207,217, representing 42.64%.

The results emanated from 1,527 of 5,890 polling places, representing 25.93% of total votes.

This is a remarkable development for incumbent Weah’s camp that was initially lagging behind in early vote count.
