Liberia’s President, George Weah, has declared his intention to run for re-election.
Mr. Weah said in his annual state of the nation address that he would ask Liberians to renew his six-year mandate for a second time.
Elections are set to take place in October.
During his presidency, Mr. Weah has been accused of economic mismanagement.
The US sanctioned a number of senior Liberian officials, including Mr. Weah’s chief of staff, last year over corruption allegations.
