Supporters of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' New Democracy party blare air horns at the party's main electoral kiosk in Athens as exit polls show the party to be on course to win Sunday's election. His New Democracy party is projected to have obtained 36 to 40 percent of the votes -- well ahead of leftist challenger Alexis Tsipras' Syriza party, which is expected to have secured 25 to 29 percent of the ballot - but could be forced to call a second round of votes as it failed to garner enough support to rule alone.

EFF political party leader Julius Malema reacts after having been taken out of Parliament during the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s keynote address in Parliament. The opposition lawmakers tried to block him from speaking.

Armed security and police quickly jumped in and forced the MPs off stage. IMAGES
