1996 Sudanese general election
General elections were held in Sudan to elect a President and National Assembly between 2 and 17 March 1996. They were the first elections since 1986 due to a military coup in 1989, and the first simultaneous elections for the presidency and National Assembly. 125 members of the 400-seat National Assembly had been nominated before the election, leaving 275 seats to be elected (of which 51 were ultimately uncontested).[1] There were no political parties at the time, and all candidates ran as independents.

gollark: I mean, there's that saying about how you can get answers more easily by being wrong on the internet than actually asking.
gollark: Conspiracy theory: what if this is just an extremely annoying way to get people to explain things to me?
gollark: NEVER!
gollark: It doesn't seem particularly generalized, since the operations work differently.
gollark: It would be silly to concat everything which had an interface of `int, int → int`, say, together into one call.
