In that year, former President William Vacanarat Shadrach Tubman took over from former President Edwin J. Barclay. He resigned and turned power over to his Vice President, Mr. Moses G. Blah, who, too, after two months of ending the remaining term of President Taylor, handed power over to Mr. Charles Gyude Bryant, former Chairman of the National Transitional Government of Liberia (NTGL). PRESIDENT WEAH HAD fought to become President once in 2005 but lost to Madam Sirleaf, whom he now succeeds. NOW THAT YOU ARE PRESIDENT, Your Excellency, the expectations are high from your compatriots, who elected you overwhelmingly to steer the state of affairs for the next six years. NOW THAT YOU ARE PRESIDENT, Your Excellency, one area your predecessor failed miserably is national reconciliation.
