Polls open in Algeria
Updated | By Lonwabo Miso
The polls opened in Algeria's presidential election on Thursday with the incumbent Abdelaziz Bouteflika seeking a fourth term despite his chronic health problems.po

More than 260,000 police have been deployed to protect the 50,000 polling booths set up across Africa's largest country, where 23 million Algerians are eligible to vote in a contest between six candidates after polling opened at 8:00 am (0700 GMT).
The 77-year-old president, who rose to power in 1999, is the firm favourite. But with warnings of electoral fraud and opposition calls for a boycott, the
focus will be on turnout before polling stations close at 1800 GMT.
