National Legislature (Sudan)

National Legislature (Sudan)

The National Legislature (Arabic: المجلس التشريعي السوداني‎, Al-Maǧlis al-Ttašriyʿiy) is the legislative branch of the government of the Republic of the Sudan.

The National Legislature was dissolved on 11 April 2019 following the overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir and his National Congress of Sudan in a military coup.[1][2]

As part of the 2019 Sudanese transition to democracy, a Transitional Legislative Council is to be formed which will function as the legislature of Sudan until elections scheduled for 2022. [3]

Prior to the 2019 coup d'etat, the National Legislature was composed of two chambers:

  • The Council of States (المجلس الولايات السوداني, Al-Maǧlis al-Wilāyāt) had 50 members who are indirectly elected by state legislatures.

  • The National Assembly (المجلس الوطني السوداني, Al-Maǧlis al-Waṭaniy) had 450 directly elected members.
