Decentralization/Federalism – 2010

In April 2010, there were elections at the state level in which the SPLM candidate won the gubernatorial position in nine out of ten states in the South. In the Central Equatoria State of southern Sudan, an independent candidate won the election. NCP candidates won the elections for the office of Governor in thirteen out of fifteen Northern States. Gubernatorial elections in Southern Kordofan postponed as agreed upon by the CPA parties. In the Blue Nile State, the SPLM won the election. This completes the decentralization/federalism provision of the 2005 CPA as parties moved from power-sharing executive and legislature to the elected executive and legislature with no power-sharing arrangements.
