The announcement of the extension of Sudan’s presidential, parliamentary and state elections came hours before polls were due to close finally yesterday.
Ahmed al Radi Jaber, withdraw from the presidential race saying the extension is a bid to manipulate the vote.
Another independent candidate Omar Awad Al Kareem Hussain’s also pulled out, claiming the election is a farce.
President Omar el Bashir and his National Congress Party are virtually certain to win this poll opposed by the major opposition groups because it precedes a national dialogue he launched last year after deadly riots.
Presidential insiders counter that the groups were
delaying this dialogue which will now follow the elections.
