    The results of Sudan’s legislative elections have been delayed and will probably not be published until 30 December, according to the General Election Commission (GEC). Results of the legislative poll and of a vote for the presidency in a simultaneous election had been due for release on 25 December. The elections ran from 13-25 December. A GEC official said publication of results will probably coincide with the presidential announcement on 30 December, AFP said. The GEC said several states had not yet submitted results. A preliminary tally of the presidential poll from several districts showed incumbent Omar al-Bashir winning more than three times the votes for his nearest competitor, former military autocrat Jaafer Nimeri, AFP said.
