Three-day elections in Sudan are not seeing a big voter turn out. The elections, which started April 13, are being boycotted by Sudan’s main opposition parties.
Standing president, Omar Al-Bashir, who is campaigning on improving the economy and promises of stability, looks to extend his already more than two decade stay in the presidential palace. Bashir was also using the ongoing security situations in Libya and Yemen as a reason to keep him in office.
“The elections are good and clean and there’s nothing more I would ask of them,” said Nadia Ahmed Abdelrahman, a local government official voting in the capital, according to a Reuters report. “The elections are better than what is happening elsewhere in the region. Look at the death and killing. Thank God we have avoided that,” she said.
Initial results are expected within days of the polls closing on April 15.
