]]> Campaigning has stopped as Sudan’ 18 million registered voters prepare to go the polls this week for presidential and parliamentary elections.
The tough government of President Omas al Bashir insists it has taken the necessary security precautions to prevent the Sudanese Peoples’ Liberation Movement North movement making goods on its threat to disrupt voting.
ends intro
Voting will last three days in Sudan.
The National Electoral Commission says this will enable people in rural districts to cast their ballots.
Forty six parties are contesting the election along with 16 presidential candidates.
None of them are expected to threaten President Omar al Bashir and his ruling National Congress Party
Some parties have boycotted the poll because Bashir turned his back on a national dialogue launched 16 months ago.
The European Union says without this dialogue the elections are not credible.
