Mozambique: Heavy rain, low turnout overshadow poll

Heavy rains and low turnout cast a shadow over Thursday's second day of Mozambican elections for a successor to President Joaquim Chissano as foreign observers complained they were denied full access to the polling process. National Electoral Commission head Arao Lithure took the unusual step of making a live address on state radio and television to urge Mozambicans to vote, saying they had a right to help determine their country's destiny.
