Liberia’s 2023 presidential election surprised an international community that openly feared it would devolve into violence. The hotly contested race resulted in a razor-thin victory for the opposition party. The sitting president, soccer superstar George Weah, had rejected election results in a previous attempt to win office and had allies advising him to challenge the 2023 results. But he chose to concede even before the final tallies were made, ending his first term in office. Observers say Weah set an international example for responsive leadership. In January 2024, power peacefully transferred to his opponent, Joseph Boakai. This chapter analyzes the conditions that led to Weah’s fall from one of Liberia’s most popular post-war political figures to a one-term president, and how voters in one of the world’s poorest countries made that happen.
