who do you think will win? and when will be presidential election take place.

[Khalid Ali]

It's good to show the worls how free how fair how transparent our elecions are. That's why we invite international observers. I am not sure it's parliamentary elecions these elecions are the first time in 16 years I think kulmiye will win in some major parts of the country and wadani will win in some parts 82 seats are up for grabs. Presidential elecions are next year November 13.

Regardless, 15 years is a long time not to hold elections. Perhaps it's due to laziness.
