The United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) welcomes the completion of gubernatorial and legislative elections in Southern Kordofan State, which were conducted in a peaceful manner monitored by a large number of observers.
UNMIS was not an official observer of the elections but had provided logistical and technical support.
We urge all parties to continue to maintain peace following the announcement of the results today, and encourage any party that may have complaints regarding the election process to address them through legal means or dialogue.
