BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — Azerbaijanis are voting Wednesday in an election almost certain to see incumbent President Ilhan Aliyev chosen to serve another seven-year term, following his government’s retaking of a region formerly controlled by ethnic Armenian separatists.
Aliyev, 62, has been in power for more than 20 years, succeeding his father who was Azerbaijan's Communist boss and then president for a decade when it became independent after the 1991 Soviet collapse.
A fifth term for President Ilham Aliyev is seen as a foregone conclusion as voters in Azerbaijan head to the polls. First exit polls put his share of the vote at almost 94%.
