The Sudanese elections, the country’s first democratic elections in nine years are suspected of being marred with fraud according to international and local observers. Proof of foul play was confirmed by the circulation of a YouTube video showing election officials stuffing ballot boxes. The elections commission and the National Congress Party (NCP) have dismissed the footage as a fake. Such news is of no surprise to many Africans. What is surprising however, is the withdrawal of two of President Bashir’s main challengers from the poll so far in the game. Poll results are now being delayed, likely to be announced only next week.
