Parliamentary elections were held in Sudan between 1 and 12 April 1986. They were the first multi-party elections in the country since 1968, and saw a victory for the Umma Party, which emerged as the single largest party with 100 of the 260 filled seats in the National Assembly. No party emerged with a majority; the Umma Party formed a coalition government.[1]

The election took place amidst the Second Sudanese Civil War, and voting was postponed indefinitely in 41 seats in Southern Sudan due to security concerns.[1][2] Voter turnout was 67.5%.[3] The election was among the freest and fairest elections in Africa up to that time.[1]
To date, these are the last free elections held in Sudan.
