Malawians Vote In Presidential Election

Malawians have started voting in an election in which 11 candidates are vying to unseat President Joyce Banda, southern Africa's first female head of state, who came to power two years ago. The only two opinion polls published have had very different results, but most analysts rank Banda as favourite in Tuesday's vote, pointing to her popularity in rural areas where the government has been rolling out development projects and farm subsidy schemes.
