2022 Sudanese general election
General elections are scheduled to be held in Sudan in late 2022 as part of the transition to democracy deal that was reached in July and August 2019.[1][2][3][4] A constitutional convention is expected to be held before the end of the transitional period to draft a permanent constitution that should define the form of government and electoral system.
