Quote: Now with the start of the election, the following irregularities, which constitute deliberate rigging measures, it is understood that the results of these elections will be null and void and therefore lack legitimacy. These irregularities have been summed up as follows: · Due to confusion in symbols of two independent candidates in Berber National constituency of the Nile State, namely Abubakr Abdulatif and Sulaiman Ahmed Agied, the elections for the National parliament have been postponed for 60 days. This is despite the fact that the elections law stipulates that in such cases elections to all levels should be postponed. Yet, the NEC decided that elections for the position of the presidency, Governors and parliamentary seats go ahead. · Candidates were thrown to confusion in the 25 states, whereas symbols of various candidates were either missing or mixed. · Up to now elections have been postponed at different levels in more than 28 constituencies. · In White Nile State the symbol of the presidential Candidate, Mrs. Fatma Abdul Mahmoud was missing. · In White Nile State and other states, elections did not start on the first day of voting. · In Tandalty, North Kordufan state, 5 out of 8 symbols were missing. · In many states including Khartoum , names of voters were shifted from one constituency to another within and across the states. This situation frustrated many partisan and independent candidates to withdraw from the race as well as discouraging huge numbers of voters to abandon the exercise of voting. · The NCP affiliated local residential committees were issuing residential permits to individuals within the polling stations to enable them vote which is a violation of the electoral rules and procedures. · Tens of thousands of names were dropped from the voter registry in many constituencies across the country. · In almost all the polling stations all over the country the residing officers and members of the staff were known as NCP operatives. · It was noticed that, most polling cards, which were printed in a government controlled printing facility, had no S/No. It is worth mentioning that the manager of the facility is a senior officer in the National security organ. · Incidences of bribery of voters and other forms of corruptions carried out by known NCP operatives were reported in many areas all over the country. · The ink used to mark fingers of voters did not tally with the scientific specifications required.
