The National Legislature (Template:Langx, Al-Maǧlis al-Ttašriyʿiy) is the legislative branch of the government of the Republic of the Sudan.
Prior to the 2019 coup d'état, the National Legislature was composed of two chambers:
- The Council of States (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Al-Maǧlis al-Wilāyāt) had 50 members who are indirectly elected by state legislatures.
- The National Assembly (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Al-Maǧlis al-Waṭaniy) had 450 directly elected members.
The National Legislature was dissolved on 11 April 2019 following the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir and his National Congress Party in a military coup.[1]
As part of the 2019 Sudanese transition to democracy, a Transitional Legislative Council was to have been formed which would function as the legislature of Sudan until elections initially scheduled for 2022.[2]
Amendments made to the transitional constitution in February 2025, established a "Transitional Legislative Authority" made up of the members of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and Cabinet of Sudan to act as an interim legislature until a Transitional Legislative Council is formally established.[3]
Parliament building
The seat of the National Legislature is in Omdurman, immediately north-west of the country's capital Khartoum. The building was designed in the style of brutalist architecture by the Romanian architect Cezar Lăzărescu and completed in 1978.[4] It is located on the banks of the White Nile at the confluence with the Blue Nile near the old Omdurman bridge.
