Significance
President George Weah will be running for a second six-year term on the ticket of the ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC). His main opponents are former Vice President Joseph Boakai of the Unity Party (UP) and businessman Alexander Cummings of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) opposition coalition.
Impacts
Government spending related to the election may increase in the coming weeks.
If Weah does not win a first-round victory, he will attempt to attract opposition support with offers of government positions.
A troubled voter registration process may fuel accusations of irregularities at the polls.
