General elections were held in [[Liberia]] on 11 October 2005, with a runoff election for the presidency held on 8 November. The [[President of Liberia|presidency]] and all seats in the [[Liberian House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] and [[Senate of Liberia|Senate]] were up for election. The elections were the first held since [[1997 Liberian general election|1997]] and marked the end of the political transition following the [[Second Liberian Civil War|second civil war]], having been stipulated in the [[Accra Comprehensive Peace Agreement|Accra Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2003]]. [[Ellen Johnson Sirleaf]], former [[World Bank]] employee and Liberian finance minister, won the presidential contest and became the first democratically elected female [[Africa]]n [[head of state]] in January 2006. |
|||
The country has been led by a transitional government since [[October 2003]]—which took office following the resignation and departure into exile of President [[Charles Taylor]] in [[August 2003]], as part of a deal to end the country's [[Second Liberian Civil War|second civil war]]—and these elections mark the end of the transition. |
|||
==Background== |
|||
== Important dates and regulations == |
|||
Frances Johnson-Morris, the chairwoman of the National Elections Commission (NEC), announced the October 11 date on February 7, 2005.<ref>"Liberia to hold elections October 11", [[Agence France-Presse]] (AFP), February 7, 2005.</ref> |
|||
Elections were scheduled for all 64 seats in the [[House of Representatives of Liberia|House of Representatives]], with each of Liberia's 15 [[Counties of Liberia|counties]] having at least two seats and the remaining seats allotted proportionally based on voter registration.<ref>"Liberia electoral reform bill signed into law", AFP, December 17, 2004.</ref> The [[Senate of Liberia|Senate]] had 30 seats up for elections, with two from each county. |
|||
Frances Johnson-Morris, the chairwoman of the National Elections Commission (NEC), announced the October 11 date on [[February 7]], 2005, and said that results would be announced no later than [[October 26]]. She also said that candidates would have until mid-August to apply to run, and that a registration campaign for eligible voters would be held from [[April 25]] to [[May 21]].<small><sup>[[#References|1]]</sup></small> |
|||
==Presidential candidates== |
|||
After counting the votes in the first round, no candidate had received a majority, and a run-off was scheduled for 8 November between presidential candidates George Weah and Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. The two candidates are likely to seek support from the other candidates in the days leading to this final round. |
|||
Prior to the election, former [[football (soccer)|football]] star [[George Weah]] was considered by many to be the favorite, due at least partially to widespread dissatisfaction with Liberia's politicians. Weah, who had been the subject of a petition published in September 2004 urging him to run,<ref>"Football legend George Weah urged to stand for Liberian presidency", AFP, October 3, 2004.</ref> announced his candidacy in mid-November 2004 and received a hero's welcome when he arrived in [[Monrovia]] later in the month.<ref>Terence Sesay, "Presidential candidate Weah takes Monrovia by storm", [[Deutsche Presse-Agentur]], November 24, 2004.</ref> Weah won the first round of voting but lost in the November 8, 2005 run-off. He initially filed formal fraud charges, but subsequently dropped his allegations, citing the interests of peace. |
|||
The lower house of the new parliament will have 64 seats; each of Liberia's 15 counties will have two seats, and the remaining 34 seats will be allotted proportionally based on voter registration.<small><sup>[[#References|5]]</sup></small> The Senate will have 30 seats. |
|||
== George Weah == |
|||
As of February, 18 parties had registered. 22 people registered as presidential candidates, including [[football (soccer)|football]] star [[George Weah]], considered by many to be the favorite in the election;<small><sup>[[#References|2]]</sup></small> his popularity is at least partially a manifestation of widespread dissatisfaction with Liberia's politicians. Weah, who had been the subject of a petition published in [[September 2004]] urging him to run,<small><sup>[[#References|3]]</sup></small> announced his candidacy in mid-[[November 2004]] and received a hero's welcome when he arrived in [[Monrovia]] later in the month.<small><sup>[[#References|4]]</sup></small> [[Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy|LURD]] rebel leader [[Sekou Conneh]] is also a notable contender. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4487277.stm] |
|||
== Excluded candidates == |
|||
These are Liberia's first elections since a victory by Taylor and his [[National Patriotic Party]] in the July [[1997]] [[Liberia elections, 1997|elections]], which some did not consider fully free and fair. The chairman of the transitional government, [[Gyude Bryant]], and other members of the transitional government will not run, according to the terms of the peace deal. |
|||
On [[August 13]], the election commission published a list of 22 presidential candidates who were cleared to run; six candidates were rejected, but Weah was cleared to stand despite complaints that he had adopted French citizenship. The Senate seats were contested by 206 candidates and the seats in the lower house were contested by 503 candidates. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/africa/4149010.stm] Campaigning for the elections began on [[August 15]]. |
|||
{{div col}} |
|||
In late September, the Supreme Court ruled that two excluded presidential candidates, Marcus Jones and Cornelius Hunter, and an excluded legislative candidate could register to run; this ruling created the possibility that the elections would have to be postponed in order to reprint ballot papers. However, these candidates later withdrew their bids, so the elections went ahead on schedule on October 11.<small><sup>[[#References|6]]</sup></small> |

===2005 Presidential election results=== |
|||
In the runoff election on [[November 8]], with 2442 of 3070 precints reporting (79.5%) according to Liberia2005.com, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf leads George Weah 393,805-285,984. Weah has begun to claim [[election fraud]], stating elections officials were stuffing ballot boxes in Johnson-Sirleaf's favor. [[United Nations]] election observers, however, state that the runoff vote was clean. Johnson-Sirleaf reminded the press that Weah has 72 hours to share evidence of fraud with her campaign. He has yet to do so as of [[November 10]]. |
|||
In late September, the Supreme Court ruled that two excluded presidential candidates, Marcus Jones and Cornelius Hunter, and an excluded legislative candidate could register to run; this ruling created the possibility that the elections would have to be postponed in order to reprint ballot papers. However, these candidates later withdrew their bids, so the elections went ahead on schedule on October 11.<ref>"Two Liberian candidates stand down to prevent delay of election", Deutsche Presse-Agentur, October 6, 2005.</ref> |

Voting took place in two rounds 11 October and 8 November. Twenty-two people contested the presidential race in the first round. [[George Weah]], former soccer star and [[Ellen Johnson Sirleaf]], former [[World Bank]] employee and finance minister finished first and second, respectively and advanced to the second round [[Two-round system|run-off]], which Johnson-Sirleaf won 59%-41%, according to the National Electoral Commission. |

Weah claimed [[election fraud]], stating elections officials were [[ballot stuffing|stuffing ballot]] boxes in Johnson-Sirleaf's favor. Most [[Election monitoring|elections observers]], including those from the [[United Nations]], the [[European Union]] and the [[Economic Community of West African States]], say that the election was clean and transparent. The [[Carter Center]] observed "minor irregularities" but no major problems. Johnson-Sirleaf reminded the press that Weah has 72 hours to bring evidence of wrongdoing to her campaign according to Liberian law, calling the accusations "lies" and stating that Weah's supporters "just don't want a woman to be President in Africa."<ref>[https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2005/11/10/liberia-set-for-first-woman-president Liberia set for first woman president] Al Jazeera, 10 November 2015</ref> |

On December 22, 2005, Weah withdrew his protests, and in January, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became the first democratically elected female Head of State in the history of the African Continent, and the first native female African head of state since [[Emperor of Ethiopia|Empress]] [[Zauditu of Ethiopia|Zauditu]], who ruled [[Ethiopia]] from 1916 to 1930. |

===Senate=== |

As no Senate existed prior to the elections, each voter was eligible to cast two ballots for different candidates. The two candidates with the highest number of votes in each county were elected. The candidate with the highest share of votes became the [[senior senator]] for the county, elected to a nine-year term. The candidate with the second-highest share became the [[junior senator]], elected to a six-year term. This method was chosen in order to reintroduce a [[staggered elections|staggered electoral system]]. |

General elections were held in Liberia on 11 October 2005, with a runoff election for the presidency held on 8 November. The presidency and all seats in the House of Representatives and Senate were up for election. The elections were the first held since 1997 and marked the end of the political transition following the second civil war, having been stipulated in the Accra Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2003. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former World Bank employee and Liberian finance minister, won the presidential contest and became the first democratically elected female African head of state in January 2006.
Background
[edit]Frances Johnson-Morris, the chairwoman of the National Elections Commission (NEC), announced the October 11 date on February 7, 2005.[1]
Elections were scheduled for all 64 seats in the House of Representatives, with each of Liberia's 15 counties having at least two seats and the remaining seats allotted proportionally based on voter registration.[2] The Senate had 30 seats up for elections, with two from each county.
Presidential candidates
[edit]Prior to the election, former football star George Weah was considered by many to be the favorite, due at least partially to widespread dissatisfaction with Liberia's politicians. Weah, who had been the subject of a petition published in September 2004 urging him to run,[3] announced his candidacy in mid-November 2004 and received a hero's welcome when he arrived in Monrovia later in the month.[4] Weah won the first round of voting but lost in the November 8, 2005 run-off. He initially filed formal fraud charges, but subsequently dropped his allegations, citing the interests of peace.

Excluded candidates
[edit]The chairman of the transitional government, Gyude Bryant, and other members of the transitional government did not run, according to the terms of the peace deal.[citation needed]
On August 13, the election commission published a list of 22 presidential candidates who were cleared to run; six candidates were rejected, but Weah was cleared to stand despite complaints that he had adopted French citizenship. The Senate seats were contested by 206 candidates and the seats in the lower house were contested by 503 candidates. [1] Campaigning for the elections began on August 15.
In late September, the Supreme Court ruled that two excluded presidential candidates, Marcus Jones and Cornelius Hunter, and an excluded legislative candidate could register to run; this ruling created the possibility that the elections would have to be postponed in order to reprint ballot papers. However, these candidates later withdrew their bids, so the elections went ahead on schedule on October 11.[5]
Results
[edit]President
[edit]Voting took place in two rounds 11 October and 8 November. Twenty-two people contested the presidential race in the first round. George Weah, former soccer star and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former World Bank employee and finance minister finished first and second, respectively and advanced to the second round run-off, which Johnson-Sirleaf won 59%-41%, according to the National Electoral Commission.
Weah claimed election fraud, stating elections officials were stuffing ballot boxes in Johnson-Sirleaf's favor. Most elections observers, including those from the United Nations, the European Union and the Economic Community of West African States, say that the election was clean and transparent. The Carter Center observed "minor irregularities" but no major problems. Johnson-Sirleaf reminded the press that Weah has 72 hours to bring evidence of wrongdoing to her campaign according to Liberian law, calling the accusations "lies" and stating that Weah's supporters "just don't want a woman to be President in Africa."[6]
On December 22, 2005, Weah withdrew his protests, and in January, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became the first democratically elected female Head of State in the history of the African Continent, and the first native female African head of state since Empress Zauditu, who ruled Ethiopia from 1916 to 1930.

Senate
[edit]As no Senate existed prior to the elections, each voter was eligible to cast two ballots for different candidates. The two candidates with the highest number of votes in each county were elected. The candidate with the highest share of votes became the senior senator for the county, elected to a nine-year term. The candidate with the second-highest share became the junior senator, elected to a six-year term. This method was chosen in order to reintroduce a staggered electoral system.
