利比里亞總統(tǒng)選舉決選投票

Polls are open in Liberia Tuesday, as voters choose between former soccer star George Weah and Vice President Joseph Boakai to replace President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

Boakai and Weah were the top vote-getters in the October 10 election, with Weah getting 38.4 percent and Boaki coming in second with 28.8 percent. Since neither received a majority, a runoff election was triggered, but court challenges delayed the vote which was originally set for November 7.

Sirleaf is stepping down after two terms as president.

Pollsters say Tuesday's election is too close to call, and official results aren't expected for a few days.

星期二，利比里亞人參加總統(tǒng)選舉決選投票。兩位候選人一個是前世界足球先生、民主變革大會候選人喬治·維阿，另一個是團(tuán)結(jié)黨候選人、現(xiàn)任副總統(tǒng)約瑟夫·博阿凱。兩位候選人之一獲勝，將接替現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)埃倫·約翰遜·瑟利夫。

在10月10日舉行的第一輪選舉中，得票最多的是上述兩位候選人。維阿得票34.4%，博阿凱為28.8%。由于兩人的得票率都沒有過半，由此啟動決選。但由于團(tuán)結(jié)黨提出法庭訴訟，原本是要在11月7日舉行的選舉推遲到現(xiàn)在。

已經(jīng)連任一次的瑟利夫總統(tǒng)即將卸任。

民意測驗(yàn)專家星期二表示，眼下競選雙方勢均力敵難分勝負(fù)。正式選舉結(jié)果預(yù)計要幾天后才會出來。
