Expectations are high in Liberia for ex-football star George Weah to fulfill his election promises once he takes office later today.
Mr Weah won the election in December on a pledge to tackle high levels of unemployment, and corruption.
Street trader Samuel Harmon told AFP news agency:
“It’s my very first time to see Liberia transferring power peacefully. People expect real democracy. The expectation of the people and the country is all up to him [Weah]. Everybody believes that if he fails us, the majority will be disappointed with politics.”
