The parliamentary experience in Sudan
has undergone many stages, where it has developed
through ages.
The Sudan has recognized shoora
practice since Islamic sultanates and kingdoms. The
experience has become more rooted in Mahdi state which
has issued circulars and letters that included the
principles of rule and judicature which later became the
source of legislation. The sittings of Imam Almahdi and
Khalipha Abdullah Altaaishi were shoora institutions
where the opportunity of expressing opinion was availed.
In November 1953, the first national
parliament was elected in Sudan in order to practice its
legal role in the country after the end of British
administration. Bicameral system (Senate and Congress)
was adopted as a result of Prof. Haro recommendation to
the Committee formed to establish the autonomy. The
bicameral system was followed worldwide after the second
world war. After independence the parliament has
maintained the bicameral system in the interim
constitution of 1956.
The congress was formed of fifty
representatives who were selected through elections and
appointment. The term of the congress takes three years
from the date of holding sittings. It is indissoluble
and the sittings are suspended when the congress is
dissolved. The congress was then concerned with taking
the necessary actions for determination of Sudan
political destiny, and to ratify the law of the
constituent assembly. This congress has continued until
the Army seized power in November.
