President of Sudan Is Re-elected With 94 Percent of Vote

The president of Sudan is re-elected receiving 94% if the votes. President Omar Hassan al-Bashir was re-elected, but many groups boycotted the election so there was a low turnout of voters. Fifteen people ran against President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, but these candidates that were running against Bashir were unknown. The election lasted four days and only 46% of eligible voters, voted.  The United States, as well as Britain, and Norway agreed that Bashir did not hold a fair election. The rights that the citizens have are not what are stated in the Sudanese Constitution. The elections are not fair and controlled by the leaders. Elections do not indicate what the people of Sudan truly want.
