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.[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

[edit]

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.
