| Description | No fewer than 27 candidates - including a lone woman - have joined the fray in Mali's first presidential election since the March 2012 coup that threw the country into chaos.
Reliable polling data is thin on the ground, but a handful of candidates - four former prime ministers, one former finance minister and Mali's former chief geologist - are widely seen as having the best chances because of their prominent backgrounds and political ties.
The incumbent president, Dioncounda Traore, is barred from standing.
All the candidates have similar policies: Restoring stability and national unity, reviving trust in Mali's battered state institutions, fighting corruption and stimulating growth. |
