The newspaper cited in the first place devotes its editorial to the presidential election in Liberia, highlighting: ‘Mister George in search of a double in the State House’.

According to the editorialist of Today in Faso, George Weah is running for a 2nd , adding that “generally in such circumstances, there is what is called the exit bonus, that is to say that the fact that he spent six years in power, credits him with a record that he will add to strengthen his campaign program.’

starting line, including outgoing President Gerge Weah.

Under the title: “Presidential election in Liberia: The white star must not fade”, the newspaper mentions that after more than a month of a campaign punctuated by tensions, and sometimes incidents, the moment of truth has stunned.’

In the same vein, L’Observateur Paalga, the oldest of Burkinabè private dailies, through its ”Look at current events”, wonders: “Will Weah achieve the double?” “.

According to the newspaper, “for sure, it will not be a walk in the park for the outgoing president as evidenced by the virulence of the campaign punctuated by numerous physical incidents which resulted in loss of life and many injuries.”
