Legal challenges delays Liberia's presidential election results.

Liberians have been voting to pick a new president in a run-off vote between Vice-President Joseph Boakai and former international footballer George Weah.
 Goodluck Jonathan, the former Nigerian president, who is an observer at the election, told the BBC he was certain it would be free and fair despite "some challenges".
Mr Weah, 51, won the first round, but did not secure the required 50% of the vote for an outright victory.
Legal challenges delayed the vote to replace Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's first elected female president.
Turnout seems to have been low, but the result is expected to lead to the first smooth transfer of power in 73 years.

More than two million people were eligible to cast their ballots in the nation of 4.6 million people, founded by freed US slaves in the 19th Century.
