Voters in Madagascar headed to the polls today to vote for a new president despite calls by the opposition to boycott the election following weeks of violent protests.
The Independent Mirror reported that Observers said there were queues at polling stations in areas that support incumbent President Andry Rajoelina, while there were few voters seen in opposition neighbourhoods.
In Antananarivo, many people said they were heeding calls by a collective of 10 candidates to stay away from voting booths.
A night-time curfew in the capital ended just two hours before voting started.
