Former Chelsea, Manchester City and AC Milan striker George We-ah will be the next president of Liberia.
51-year-old We-ah became the first non‑European player to win the Ballon d'Or in 1995, just one of many achievements over a prolific 18‑year professional career that ended in 2003.
He entered politics after his retirement and had been serving as a senator in Liberia's parliament.
His victory was announced by Liberia's National Elections Commission which said that with 98.1% of ballots counted, We-ah had won 61.5% of the vote.
