FOOTBALLING superstar George Weah has scored again. As the only African footballer to have been awarded both fifa's World Player of the Year and France's Ballon d'Or, Mr Weah, a Liberian, is used to winning. However, one prize had evaded him—until this year. On December 26th the former Chelsea, ac Milan and Paris Saint-Germain player triumphed in the second round of Liberia's presidential election. Mr Weah defeated the current vice-president, Joseph Boakai, with 62% of the vote. He won all but one of Liberia's 15 counties.
