What you have not said is that there was low turn-out in the second-round in Liberia’s presidential poll. This defeats the whole notion that 50+1 enhances a president’s mandate because George Weah was elected by more than 50 percent of FEWER people compared to those that voted in the first round. Secondly, re-runs in Africa’s current political culture are fraught with intense political paralysis and (un)necessary legal challenges. I do not think that the electoral reforms proposed in Malawi will yield any positive results becaase it is the political culture that is rotten and an obstacle to change.
