Kiir:
Regional elections were held in Southern Sudan between 11 and 15 April 2010 as part of the Sudanese general election. The result was a victory for Salva Kiir of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement, who received almost 93% of the vote. The winners of these elections would later continue in office upon South Sudan's independence after a referendum in 2011.
As of 2025, these are the last South Sudanese elections.
Electoral system
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 170 seats of the Legislative Assembly were elected by three methods:
- 102 seats (60%) were elected by First-past-the-post.
- 43 seats (25%) reserved for women were elected by closed list proportional representation with 4% electoral threshold.
- 25 seats (15%) unreserved were elected by the same system.
