Presidential elections in South Sudan 2010
The presidential elections in South Sudan 2010 took place from April 11 to 15, 2010 and were the first ever presidential elections in the still autonomous South Sudan , which is striving for independence . They were held at the same time as the elections for the President of the State of Sudan and the election of the governors of the ten South Sudanese states .
As a result, the previous leader of the Sudanese People's Liberation Army and de facto ruler of South Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit , was sworn in on May 21, 2010 as the first elected President of the autonomous South Sudan.
Some candidates withdrew their candidacy for the election so late that, despite the withdrawal, their names appeared on the ballot papers and they received votes. The elections took place at the same time as the presidential election for the state as a whole , the parliamentary election for South Sudan and the gubernatorial election for the states of South Sudan.
