Presidential elections in Maldives

Maldivian presidential candidate Mohamed Nasheed, who was ousted as president in 2012, smiles as he casts his vote during the presidential elections in Male September 7, 2013. Voters in the Maldives go to the polls on Saturday to elect a president after nearly 20 months of intermittent protests and sporadic violence triggered when the previous government was ousted. Nasheed, the Maldives' first democratically elected president, was forced from office in February 2012 in what his supporters said was a coup. [Photo/Agencies]
