National Legislature of Sudan


The National Legislature of Sudan is the legislative branch of the government of Sudan.
Prior to the 2019 coup d'état, it was composed of two chambers:
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.
As part of the 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.
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.

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. It is located on the banks of the White Nile at the confluence with the Blue Nile near the old Omdurman bridge.
