Omar al-Bashir
National Congress
General elections was held in Sudan on 13-16 April 2015 to elect the President and the National Assembly. They were originally scheduled for 2 April, but were delayed by eleven days. These were the first elections to be held following the secession of South Sudan.
Incumbent President Omar al-Bashir won the presidential election by a landslide, amid a boycott from the majority of the opposition. The ruling National Congress party also won a majority in the 426 seat National Assembly.
The President was elected using the two-round system; if no candidate gained a majority of the vote in the first round, a run-off would have been held.
The 426 members of the National Assembly were elected by three methods; half were elected by majority voting in multi-member constituencies based on the 18 states and containing between two and 36 seats. 128 seats were reserved for women and elected by closed list proportional representation in a single national constituency, whilst a further 85 unreserved seats were elected by the same system.
Incumbent President Omar al-Bashir was re-selected as the presidential candidate of the National Congress (NCP) in October 2014. Fifteen other candidates registered to contest the elections, although they are relatively unknown.
