MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — Liberia’s president urged voters to go to the polls this week and to ignore a boycott by the opposition.
Campaigning for the Nov. 8 presidential runoff ends at midnight Sunday, and incumbent President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is likely to remain unopposed. Her supporters drove around Monrovia on Sunday calling for support over amplifiers mounted on pickups.
Leading opposition candidate Winston Tubman said he was boycotting the runoff because he was not convinced the process would be fair.
