The Carter Centre, which monitored the Sudanese elections last month, has questioned the accuracy of the results. The vote count was "chaotic, non-transparent and vulnerable to electoral manipulation," said the group founded by former US President Jimmy Carter. President Omar al-Bashir was declared the winner of Sudan's first multi-party elections in 24 years. Observers and opposition parties complained of administrative problems, fraud and, in the south, intimidation. The Carter Center urged Sudan's National Elections Commission to publish the results in individual polling stations and to thoroughly review the results to increase transparency and public confidence. A report by the Center criticized the way in which the votes were recorded. "While alterations to results were often an attempt to correct mathematical errors, in some cases numbers were arbitrarily changed without clear explanation," it said. The Center also voiced concern over election-related violence which killed several people in South Darfur and Unity State. President Bashir took 68% of the vote despite facing war crimes charges over Darfur and allegations of vote-rigging from opposition parties. Meanwhile, former rebel leader Salva Kiir was re-elected in the semi-autonomous south, with 93% of the vote. Source: BBC
