Residents line up to vote amid political instability and buildings and infrastructure shattered by last month’s earthquake
Polls have opened in Vanuatu , a Pacific nation grappling with political instability and the logistics of holding a snap election in the aftermath of a 7.3-magnitude earthquake that killed at least 14 people and displaced thousands.
As downtown Port Vila remained shuttered, with multiple buildings earmarked for demolition, some residents lined up in tents from 6.30am to vote.
