利比里亞總統選舉決選投票

Polls are open in Liberia Tuesday, as voters choose between former soccer star George Weah and Vice President Joseph Boakai to replace President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

Boakai and Weah were the top vote-getters in the October 10 election, with Weah getting 38.4 percent and Boaki coming in second with 28.8 percent. Since neither received a majority, a runoff election was triggered, but court challenges delayed the vote which was originally set for November 7.

Sirleaf is stepping down after two terms as president.

Pollsters say Tuesday's election is too close to call, and official results aren't expected for a few days.

星期二，利比里亞人參加總統選舉決選投票。兩位候選人一個是前世界足球先生、民主變革大會候選人喬治·維阿，另一個是團結黨候選人、現任副總統約瑟夫·博阿凱。兩位候選人之一獲勝，將接替現任總統埃倫·約翰遜·瑟利夫。

在10月10日舉行的第一輪選舉中，得票最多的是上述兩位候選人。維阿得票34.4%，博阿凱為28.8%。由于兩人的得票率都沒有過半，由此啟動決選。但由于團結黨提出法庭訴訟，原本是要在11月7日舉行的選舉推遲到現在。

已經連任一次的瑟利夫總統即將卸任。

民意測驗專家星期二表示，眼下競選雙方勢均力敵難分勝負。正式選舉結果預計要幾天后才會出來。
