People in Zimbabwe are voting in an election that will decide whether President Robert Mugabe, in power since 1980, wins a sixth term in office.
His challengers are Morgan Tsvangirai of the MDC opposition party and Simba Makoni, a defector from Mr. Mugabe's Zanu-PF now standing as an independent. Correspondents say queues formed early at many polling stations, with voters determined to cast their ballots.
The MDC says the poll will be rigged - a charge denied by the government. Zimbabwe's security forces are on full alert amid fears of violence.
Time for Africa’s caricature Hitler to go …home; or better to a dark cell!
