In the streets of Tashkent, there is little doubt as to who will win Sunday's presidential election in Uzbekistan. Incumbent President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, consolidating his grip on power while hoping to open his country internationally, has won over all those AFP spoke to. "There is nothing new to expect from these elections. Mirziyoyev is the only one who is active and the other candidates do not dare criticise him," says Rustam Usmonov, a programmer riding the city's underground service. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
