Former President Goodluck Jonathan, has arrived in Monrovia, Liberia to meet with President George Weah and President-elect Joseph Boakai, as they begin transition process.
Boakai, in the just concluded presidential election in Liberia, polled 50.89 per cent after tallying the ballots from more than 99 per cent of polling stations, while Weah had 49.11 per cent.
Jonathan shared photos of his meeting with the Liberian leaders on his X handle on Friday, November 24.
He led the West African delegation to observe the country’s 2023 general election.
He wrote, “In continuation of the West African Elders Forum ( #TheWAEF ) Election Mediation Mission to Liberia’s last general elections, I returned to Monrovia today to meet with His Excellency President George Weah and the President-Elect His Excellency Joseph Boakai, as they begin processes for a peaceful power transition.
“My consultations with both of them was quite reassuring. I am pleased with their sense of co-operation, purpose and patriotism as well as their determination to rally all Liberians to work for the unity, peace and progress of the country.
“I believe all of West Africa has something to learn from Liberian’s elections, especially with President Weah’s selflessness in calling to concede and congratulate the President-elect and the demonstrated commitment of all stakeholders to put the interest of the country above personal or party considerations.”
