General elections were held in Sudan between 11 and 15 April 2010, extended from the original end date of 13 April.[1][2][3] The elections were held to elect the President and National Assembly of Sudan, as well as the President and Legislative Assembly of Southern Sudan. The election brought to the end the transitional period which began when the decades-long Second Sudanese Civil War ended in 2005.

Early results on 20 April showed that President Omar al-Bashir's party National Congress was well ahead.[4] On 26 April, full results were announced and al-Bashir was confirmed as the winner by having received 68.24% of the vote.[5]
