There was celebration in Liberia’s capital, Monrovia, as Joseph Boakai was sworn in as the country’s new president after narrowly defeating incumbent George Weah in November’s run-off vote.
“Elections are over, partisanship must give way to the forward march of Liberia,” Boakai said in his inaugural address.
“The tenacity shown by Liberians to protect their votes sends a message that we cannot do business as usual.
Boakai – who’s 79 and a former vice-president – faces the task of fighting poverty and corruption.
Unfortunately, Boakai has failed to reach the end of his inauguration speech as he appeared to almost pass out and had to be held up at a ceremony in the capital, Monrovia. He had already been speaking for around 30 minutes when it became clear that he was having difficulty talking.
