There were no queues as just a handful of people went into the polling station in a local school to cast their ballots in the landmark election where Sudanese are asked to choose a president, as well as local and legislative representatives.

“There are 1,020 people registered voters in this office. In two days, about 450 people have voted,” said Yasser Abdallah, who oversees registration.

The national election commission on April 12 announced an extension of the three-day vote until April 15, after a chaotic start due to logistical problems on the first day of voting on April 11.

With the withdrawal of key presidential challenges, Yassar Arman of the former rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement and former Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi, Beshir looks to secure a comfortable win.
