Liberia 'sets date for Run-Off vote'

Liberia will hold a delayed presidential run-off vote on 26 December, the electoral commission chief told Reuters news agency.

Electoral Commission chairman Jerome Korkoya added that campaigning could start immediately but must end by 24 December.

The poll that was held up for several weeks after a candidate who was knocked out of the first-round vote decided to take his allegations of fraud to court.

Last week the Supreme Court dismissed the complaint from third-place finisher Charles Brumskine's Liberty Party.

The final round of voting is between ex-footballer George Weah and Vice-President Joseph Boakai.
