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.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis casts his vote in Greece's second round of general elections in five weeks, with the conservative front-runner seeking a second term and an absolute parliamentary majority to form a "stable government". The 55-year-old Harvard graduate, who steered Greece from the coronavirus pandemic back to two consecutive years of strong growth, had already scored a thumping win in an election just a month ago. But having fallen short of five seats in parliament to be able to form a single-party government, Mitsotakis chose to ask 9.8 million Greek voters back to the ballot boxes. IMAGES
"I'm hoping to get at least 55% of the votes for president," says opposition candidate and leader of the Democratic Green Party Frank Habineza, after casting his ballot in Kigali. This as incumbent candidate, President Paul Kagame, is widely expected to win another term and extend his iron-fisted rule for another five years. In 2017 Habineza won just 0.48 percent of the vote. Millions of Rwandans are voting in the general elections to select a president and parliamentary lawmakers. SOUNDBITE
