These elections should be about the issues that confront our people, the issue of lack of safe drinking water, electricity, roads, education, agriculture, health care and the plight of our young people, and re-integration of ex-combatants. These are the issues that we must deliberate on.

There's no drinking water. The toilets are backed up. There's no power, no electricity and there's no telling when help will arrive, ... If you're not from the South, you don't understand that once that levee breaks, you've got snakes, you've got alligators, you've got everything going through the city.

I am the elected president of Liberia, not Ellen Sirleaf. They stole my victory, and I am here to say loud and clear that I am the winner of the elections.

I can bring about change. The people have spoken and their voices must be heard,

not about my popularity. People have been supporting me since my childhood. They are supporting me because they want a change not about my popularity.

This is a very good day, this is the day people are exercising their democratic right ... they are doing it for the first time without fear,
