Manage episode 387692962 series 3393816
After two failed attempts, 78-year-old Joseph Boakai is finally elected president. We look at what lies ahead after a bitterly contested poll. The presidential runoff poll was marred by low voter turnout….we ask citizens why they did or didn’t vote.
And women’s representation in the legislature drops even further ….sparking anger and frustration among women’s rights advocates.
