AFP , Saturday 16 Nov 2013

A run-off presidential election got underway in the troubled Maldives Saturday after a previous poll was delayed by the Supreme Court, an official said.

"Voting started across the Maldives and several foreign capitals where Maldivians live," Elections Commission official Aishath Reema told AFP.

"People lined up to vote long before polling booths opened."
