Polls open in Malawi's election with the incumbent president and his predecessor vying for a second chance to govern the largely poor southern African nation. The election is also for seats in parliament and local wards. Long queues formed at several polling stations across the mostly rural country hours before they were due to open at 6 am (0400GMT), with some delays reported. IMAGES
