If $K$ is a compact Lie group and $g\geq 2$ an integer, the space $K^{2g}$ is endowed with the structure of a Hamiltonian space with a Lie group valued moment map $\Phi$. Let $\beta$ be in the centre of $K$. The reduction $\Phi^{-1}(\beta)/K$ is homeomorphic to a moduli space of flat connections. When $K$ is simply connected, a direct consequence of a recent paper of Bott, Tolman and Weitsman is to give a set of generators for the $K$-equivariant cohomology of $\Phi^{-1}(\beta)$. Another method to construct classes in $H^*_K(\Phi^{-1}(\beta))$ is by using the so called universal bundle. When the group is $\Sun$ and $\beta$ is a generator of the centre, these last classes are known to also generate the equivariant cohomology of $\Phi^{-1}(\beta)$. The aim of this paper is to compare the classes constructed using the result of Bott, Tolman and Weitsman and the ones using the universal bundle.
