Madagascar begins voting in presidential elections


ANTANANARIVO: Poverty-wracked Madagascar on Friday began voting in long-delayed presidential elections meant to restore democracy and pull the country out of the crisis it plunged into after a 2009 coup.

With 33 candidates on the ballot and no clear favourite, chances of a
first-round winner look slim, raising the possibility of a run-off in eight
weeks' time.
