PRESIDENT-ELECT MICHELLE BACHELET OF CHILEFirst it was Liberia that led the way with the unprecedented election of their First Female President lady Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and now Chile has followed suit by electing their own First Female President, the fearless Michelle Bachelet who was a former political prisoner.
Read more on the Washington Post from the link above.
Socialist Party candidate Michelle Bachelet, a political prisoner during Gen. Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship and a single mother of three, was elected president on Sunday, the first woman to lead a country long
considered one of the most culturally traditional in Latin America.
With 97 percent of voting sites reporting, Bachelet had won 53 percent of the vote to about 47 percent for billionaire businessman Sebastian Piñera.
As I congratulated President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, I hereby congratulate the President elect of Chile Michelle Bachelet.
As I blog, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has already been sworn in for six-year-term as first democratically elected female president in Liberia and Africa as a whole. And she is still making her first address to the people of Liberia in the presence of many leaders of the world from various countries, including the President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. Nigeria sacrificed the precious lives of our brave soldiers and spent millions of dollars in the restoration of peace in Liberia and President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf commended Nigeria for coming to the rescue of Liberia.
I am happy for President-Elect Michelle Bachelet of Chile and President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia.
Who is next?
Hilary Clinton of the United States of America in 2008?
Let us pray.
