Is Liberia on path to democratic power transition?


If the results of a presidential runoff hold, it would mark the first democratic transition of power in 73 years.


It is the end of an era for Africa's first female president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
After serving two terms, the Nobel Peace laureate is stepping down.
There are two men who are running to replace her.
Liberians went to the polls on Tuesday in a runoff vote that was delayed over allegations of fraud in October's first round.
And if the results of the elections hold, it would mark the first democratic transition of power in 73 years.
