Counting underway in Liberia's presidential run-off 

Polls have closed in Liberia's run-off vote between Vice-President Joseph Boakai and former international footballer George Weah.

Mr Weah, 51, won the first round, but did not secure the required 50 percent of the vote for an outright victory.  

Legal challenges delayed the vote to replace Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's first elected female president. 

More than 2.2 million eligible voters are expected to cast the ballot but reports say turn out  for the run- off was low.

The result of the election is expected later this week.
