Results are in

Poll results claim the current president of Sudan, Omar Al-Bahir, has won the election for Presidency of Sudan.   Salva Kiir, the current president of South Sudan, has won the election for Southern Sudan with 93% of the votes.

From the Sudan Tribune:

 "The polls fell short of international standards, observers have said, but fell short of saying the vote is invalid."

"A statement by EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg welcomed "the largely peaceful conduct of the recent election" but expressed concerns about "the counting and aggregation of results" as identified by EU observers."

In regard to Bashir's International Criminal Court indictment: "The EU statement insisted that "impunity for the most serious crimes under international law can never be accepted."
