Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed his belief that Liberia can complete a successful transition of government despite the issues that have marred the country’s recent elections.

Taylor is currently serving a 50-year prison sentence in the UK for war crimes related to the conflict in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
