Projects Sudan’s 2010 elections, the nature of the Sudanese state and politics and the calculations of key political players. Download

This briefing paper (2009) discusses the capacity of elections to achieve effective political accommodation and thereby help to achieve peace in Sudan.

This report examines Sudan’s considerable history of elections, and asks why, despite the apparent success of 1953, multi-party elections have not so far produced the kind of stable yet dynamic government in Sudan that the secret ballot is intended to encourage. The report argues that failures of government should not be construed as evidence of any fundamental unsuitability of elections to Sudanese circumstances.
