Mozambique votes in national poll
Maputo, 28 Oct-(ANA)-Mozambique is voting in elections for a new president, parliament and regional assemblies.
The governing party, Frelimo, which has been in power since independence in 1975, is widely expected to win, helped by splits in the opposition.
The current President, Armando Guebuza, says he will work towards national unity and development.
His two opponents, Afonso Dhlakama and Daviz Simango, said it was time to end Frelimo's monopoly of power.
As well as the presidency, Frelimo currently holds 160 seats in the 250-seat parliament. (ANA)
