West Africa's newly elected President and his Veep will be sworn-in on Monday, in Monrovia at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sport Complex (SKD) in Paynesville, outside Monrovia.
The President is accompanied by the Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchway; the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta; National Security Minister, Albert Kan Dapaah and other officials from the Presidency.
