The election produced few unexpected upsets, with NCP candidates winning all Northern States, and SPLM candidates winning all of Sudan's Southern States with the notable exception of Western Equatoria; where an Independent candidate unseated the incumbent SPLM Governor. Changes to the constitution in January 2015 meant that Governors are now appointed by the President, as opposed to being directly elected.sudan constitution 2005 https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Sudan_2005.pdf?lang=en live https://web.archive.org/web/20160920113457/https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Sudan_2005.pdf?lang=en 2016-09-20 The only state not to hold elections was South Kordofan, where elections were delayed due to disagreement over disputes arising from the 2008 census.http://www.sudantribune.com/IMG/pdf/Unfinished_Business-_South_Kordofan_s_State_Elections-3.pdf Archived copy 2015-11-08 2016-03-04 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304001719/http://www.sudantribune.com/IMG/pdf/Unfinished_Business-_South_Kordofan_s_State_Elections-3.pdf dead Votes by State State Winning Party Margin (%) DetailsAl Jazirah NCP Kassala NCP Northern NCP Al Qadarif NCP Red Sea NCP River Nile NCP Sennar NCP White Nile NCP Blue Nile NCP N.
