The former striker has already wowed vast crowds at rallies in capital city Monrovia.
Sam Mannah, a member of Weah’s campaign team, said: “George feels good and very keen. People everywhere tell him they want to see change.
“He stood for election in 2005, and then they said he lacked experience, but the fact he is now a senator plays a big role.
“His former football career helps him a lot. It reminds Liberians of a lot of good things.
“Back then he helped the nation, funded several hospitals, donated food, helped people move to America and even paid the national team’s players.
“People know what he has done, and see him as the man to change their lives.”
Liberian newspaper editor Othello Garblah added: “Weah is very popular. He promises to fight corruption, improve education and create jobs.
“All the candidates have similar programmes, so voters choose personalities. Weah’s popularity is down to what he did as a player.”
