South Sudan has reached the 60% turnout needed to pass the referendum on secession from the north, the south’s ruling party and ex-rebel group says.
“The 60% threshold has been achieved but we are asking for a 100% (turnout),” the SPLM’s Anne Itto said.
She did not give exact figures, but said it was based on polling centre reports for the first three days of the week-long vote which began on Sunday.
