An incumbent president conceding defeat in a reportedly close race isn't as normal as you would hope. Good on him for doing the right thing for his country and the people.

I was reading Weah’s Wikipedia page the other day and it says he was the first president to take over in a peaceful transition of power in Liberia’s history.

Hopefully that keeps going after the next guy too
