Liberia's president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, expelled from her party

Liberia

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, was expelled from her own party, Unity Party, for failing to support her candidate for the succession in the December 2017 presidential election. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is accused of encouraging people to vote against her vice President, Joseph Boakai. Former footballer George Weah won the presidential election in December, defeating Boakai. A spokeswoman for the ruling Unity Party said Sirleaf had violated the party's constitution while campaigning with Weah, who ran under another party, the banner of the Coalition for Democratic Change. . Mrs. Sirleaf has not yet responded to her deportation. Mr. Weah will be sworn in later this month. It will be the first smooth transfer of power since 1944 to Liberia, founded by freed American slaves in the 19th century.
