Decentralization/Federalism – 2011

2011

Full Implementation Full implementation

Provisions related to federalism/decentralization were implemented. Gubernatorial elections in South Kordofan took place in May 2011 in which the NCP candidate won the election. The result was disputed because the SPLM withdrew from vote sorting and did not recognize the result.1 The result dispute sparked clashes in the area. This issue still is contentious even after southern Sudan’s secession on 9 July 2011.
