But on the eve of the presidential election, Brumskine appears to be opening some daylight between him and other candidates. The LP might not gain enough votes for a second round but will be in the top five of vote-getters. But he will have to rely on support from the parties that do not make the second round, so this will test how politically savvy his negotiation skills are which will be critical to winning in the second round. If he gets to the second round with either Boakai or Weah or Brumskine, for that matter, Cummings will defeat them. No candidate may be able to beat Cummings in the second round because he has the momentum and the money.
