Chatham House published on 10 April 2015 a commentary titled "Sudan Elections Undermined by Boycotts and Lacking Credibility" by Dame Rosalind Marsden.
The author comments that it is a certainty President Omar al-Bashir will win the 13-15 April election. Opposition political parties are boycotting the election. Most other presidential candidates are virtually unknown and the process is overseen by the ruling National Congress Party national security apparatus.
