		He was elected Vice president to William V.S. Tubman in 1951 and served in that position until Tubman's death in 1971.

		Though reelected in 1975, his government was criticized sharply for the deep economic disparities between different sectors of the population, notably the Americo-Liberians, who had dominated the country since independence, and the various indigenous ethnic groups that constituted the majority of the population.
