A Mozambican man casts his ballot at a voting station near Gorongosa in central Mozambique November 20, 2013. In the municipal elections on Wednesday, the Frelimo party which has ruled the southern African state since independence in 1975, faces an emerging challenge from the smaller Mozambique Democratic Movement (MDM), after the main opposition party and former rebel group Renamo decided to boycott the vote. Renamo leader Afonso Dhlakama is a fugitive after the government army overran his jungle camp last month, following sporadic ambushes and skirmishes by Renamo guerrillas.
