General elections were held in Liberia on 10 October 2023 to elect the President, House of Representatives and half of the Senate.[1][2] Incumbent president George Weah was eligible for a second term.[3] No candidate won a majority in the first round, with Weah narrowly placing first over opposition leader Joseph Boakai, which meant both advanced to a runoff held on 14 November 2023.[4][5] Boakai defeated Weah by just over one percentage point in the closest runoff in Liberia's history, and Weah conceded the election peacefully.[6][7]

European Union observers described the runoff as remarkably close and well administered.[8] ECOWAS and the United States congratulated Liberia on the "largely" peaceful elections.[9][10]
