Mr. Weah and his ruling CDC have been in the county pleading with potential voters to support their re-election bid.
During President Weah's campaign tour in Salayea, Zorzor, Voinjama, Kolahun, Massabolahun, and Foya Districts, the electorate committed promised massive support for the ruling party's victory in the October polls.
In previous presidential elections, Mr. Weah received low support from Lofa compared to his main rival Amb. Boakai who hails from the county.
In 2011, Mr. Weah's Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) obtained just 13.9% of the votes count, while Amb. Boakai's Unity Party (UP) obtained 71%.
In the 2017 elections, Mr. Weah and his Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) also obtained 15.80%, and Boakai's UP obtained 84.20 % of the vote in Lofa.
But President Weah has pleaded with voters to back him in this year's elections for more developments.
