Yemen holds 1-candidate presidential vote Tuesday

Yemen holds a presidential election Tuesday with only one candidate on the ballot to replace longtime ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh. Vice President Abdurabu Mansur Hadi took over Yemen's government in November, when Saleh handed over power after months of protests. Though Hadi will be the only name on the ballot on Tuesday, he has insisted on standing for election to make his presidency official.
