Breaking news: With results in from more than 85% of polling stations in Liberia's run-off election, opposition candidate Joseph Boakai is slightly ahead of President George Weah.

Mr Boakai so far has 50.6% of the vote, while Mr Weah is on 49.4%, the election commission says.

The two were separated by just over 7,000 votes in the first round in October, triggering Tuesday's run-off.

A former international football star, Mr Weah, 57, is seeking a second term.

He became president after comfortably defeating Mr Boakai, 78, in a run-off in 2017.

Mr Boakai served as vice-president in the government of Nobel Peace laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who stepped down as Liberia's leader after the 2017 election.

The latest results from Tuesday's run-off come after votes from just over 5,000 of the 5,890 polling stations have been collated.

It is unclear when the final result will be out. The election commission has 15 days from polling day of announce it.

In the first round, Mr Weah got 43.8% of the vote and Mr Boakai 43.4% - both falling short of the 50% threshold required to be declared president.

The third placed candidate secured only about 2% of the vote.

The poll was the tightest presidential contest in Liberia since a civil war ended about two decades ago.

A run-off was predicted, but Mr Boakai did better than expected.

Mr Boakai's campaigning has focused on the need to rescue the nation from what he calls "mismanagement" by Mr Weah's administration.

The president dismissed Mr Boakai's allegations, saying that he has made significant strides, including introducing free tuition for university students.

This is the fourth time a presidential election has taken place in Liberia since a civil war ended more than 20 years ago.

Observers from the regional bloc, Ecowas, said the run-off was largely peaceful, AFP news agency reports.

However, there were isolated incidents that led to "injuries and hospitalisations" in the provinces of Lofa, Nimba, B**g and Montserrado, AFP quot

GBC as an entity is not reporting Loud Silence Media to Facebook.

However, GBC has activated the Rights Manager option on its Meta platform that helps the station to copyright all of its online content.

Hence, any online media house that uses GBC content without being listed as a partner of GBC will be flagged by Meta not GBC.

The decision to use this copyright system became necessary after GBC observed a series of deliberate abuse of its content by various online media entities and a commercializing of its content.

Following the decision to use this platform, GBC has received several complaints from media houses and individuals and even government organizations on strikes against content they post on their platforms.

GBC subsequently set-up a technical committee to work on the complaints and to rectify them as soon as it is detected leading to the resolution of most of the issues.

In the case of Loud Silence Media, the technical team realized that he had used some of GBC’s content in his production. A case in point is a publication on December 15, 2022, ( https://bit.ly/3HX2Z8N) in this video, it is observed that ( at 2:25:36 - 2:28.00) Loud Silence Media used a footage from our coverage of a Parliamentary Appointment Committee meeting to vet a deputy minister designate.

Even though Loud Silence TV argues they use content under a fair use policy, the system as built by Meta is unable to deduce cases of fair right usage and so the strike applies anyway.

We are however quick to add that based on how the system works, there may be instances where content not belonging to us may receive a strike because they look similar to ours and the system is unable to differentiate.

We have not set forth to stifle Loud Silence Media and we won’t do so. Our technical team is also of the view that the strikes being experienced by Loud Silence Media cannot be why it has failed to upload its content, since we have not informed Meta to restrict them.

Our technical team will i
