Twenty candidates have their eyes on the Executive Mansion in Monrovia as Liberians go to the poll on 10 October.
The posh residence is currently occupied by President George Weah. The former World Footballer of the Year is seeking reelection for a second term as his six-year term comes to an end on 22 January next year.
In the general elections, voters in the West African country will elect the president, members of the House of Representatives and half of the Senate.
However, only one of the 19 other presidential candidates is considered a serious challenger to the incumbent. That is Joseph Boakai, a former vice president of Liberia under Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, whom Mr Weah defeated in a runoff after the 2017 election failed to produce a winner on the first ballot.
Mr Boakai, who has since become the face of the opposition in Liberia, graciously conceded defeat six years ago. However, he appears to be poised for a fiercer fight this year.
Under pouring rain on 17 September, the 78-year-old launched his election bid at a stadium in Monrovia filled with supporters.
