Liberia Elects Senate Representatives

The ongoing election was postponed in October following the Ebola out-break.

The Senate elections were postponed in a bid to stop campaigners and voters from spreading the virus.

The election is being held just days after neighbouring Sierra-Leone clamped-down on public gatherings due to the deadly virus.

Among the 139 candidates vying for the seat are former football star George Weah and Liberia's president son, Robert SirLeaf.

Ebola has infected about 19,000 people in West-Africa and killed more than 7,300 with about 3,340 deaths in Liberia.
