A supporter of Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir attends an election campaign in Bashir's hometown of Shandi, 317 km (197 miles) outside Khartoum April 7, 2010. SPLM (Sudan People's Liberation Movement), South Sudan's main party, said on Tuesday it would boycott elections in most states in northern Sudan, a further blow to the poll already hit by accusations of fraud less than a week before the vote.
