Voting has gone peacefully on day one of Sudan’s three day elections. The country’s former deputy president says those parties boycotting the polls have an opportunity to climb aboard the diplomatic train at the national dialogue that will follow it.

Former Sudanese deputy president Yusuf Al Haj Adam cast his ballot at the St Francis School in Khartoum today, shortly before President Omar Al Bashir was fast-tracked through the process at the same venue. Adam had plenty of time to talk to reporters as he stood in the queue. He says the election is by no means the end of the democratic process.  Adam says this would extend to new elections if the national dialogue agreed that it was necessary.
