Voter turn out in Sudan’s presidential and Parliamentary elections has been said to be lower that expected.
The elections were boycotted by majority opposition parties but officials say Sudanese voters always turn out in larger numbers on the last day of voting.
The government insists voter turn was high enough in the three day electoral process.
Logistical problems hampered voting at a small number of polling stations in Sudan during the second day of voting.
As a result voting will be extended by two days at affected centres.
Around 160 centres out of 7,100 nationwide were not able to open on the first day of polls.
Voting began on Monday and was due to end on Wednesday. President Omar Al-Bashir is widely expected to win another term – as the major opposition parties boycott the vote.
This is the second multi-candidate election to be held in Sudan since al-Bashir came to power in a 1989 coup. The result is expected to be out on April 27.
Voting has been cancelled in two regions in Darfur and seven in South Kordofan because of security reasons.
Top officials say government will move from this election from the national dialogue it launched in the beginning of this year following deadly unrest since September 2014.
