Agence France-Presse reports on Russia's presidential election:

Dmitry Medvedev, President Vladimir Putin's hand-picked successor, won a landslide victory in Russian presidential polls on Sunday according to preliminary results, as opponents charged the vote was rigged.

Medvedev had won 69.4 percent of the vote based on results from 75 percent of the country's polling stations, the election commission said.
