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.

Prior to the 2019 coup d'état, 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.

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 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.

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.
