A Gambian man pauses before casting his vote in Serekunda, near the capital Banjul, during presidential elections, September 22, 2006. Voters cast their ballots by dropping a marble onto a bell inside a metal drum coloured according to the candidate. The ringing bell indicates that only one vote has been cast to avoid accusations of fraud. Voters in the tiny West African nation of Gambia went to the polls on Friday in a presidential election widely expected to extend the iron-fisted rule of incumbent Yahya Jammeh for a third elected term.
