| [00:00.00] | Most of the main opposition parties in Sudan |
| [00:03.24] | are withdrawing from all the elections this month - |
| [00:06.35] | the first multi-party elections since 1986. |
| [00:09.21] | They won't take part because of concerns |
| [00:12.32] | about fraud and security. |
| [00:14.06] | On Wednesday, the presidential candidate |
| [00:16.42] | for the former southern rebels Yassir Arman pulled out. |
| [00:19.22] | President Obama's Special Envoy General Scott Gration |
| [00:22.89] | has been in Khartoum trying to save the elections. |
| [00:25.57] | James Copnall sent this report from Khartoum. |
| [00:27.68] | Several major opposition parties have announced |
| [00:30.48] | they will boycott the Sudanese elections at every level. |
| [00:32.97] | Earlier today, they told the BBC |
| [00:35.02] | they would boycott the presidential elections |
| [00:36.95] | in protest of what they believe will not be free and fair polls. |
| [00:40.43] | Now several of the parties have decided |
| [00:42.80] | not to compete in the parliamentary |
| [00:44.41] | or state elections either. |
| [00:45.91] | The decision strikes a real blow |
| [00:47.96] | at the credibility of elections |
| [00:49.51] | which were meant to hold the democratic transformation in Sudan. |
