General elections were 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.[1] These were the first elections to be held following the secession of South Sudan.[2]
Incumbent President Omar al-Bashir won the presidential election by a landslide,[3] amid a boycott from the majority of the opposition. The ruling National Congress of Sudan also won a majority in the 426 seat National Assembly.[4]
