The Transitional Legislative Authority is an interim legislative body for Sudan, formed in February 2025. It has the ability to make legislation and to oversee the functioning of the executive arm of the government of Sudan.
Prior to the overthrow of president Omar al-Bashir in a coup d'état in April 2019, Sudan's National Legislature was bicameral with a 50-member Council of States and a 450-member National Assembly. As part of a transition to democracy, a 300-member Transitional Legislative Council was to have been formed to act as Sudan's legislature until elections planned for 2022. A transitional constitution was adopted and a Transitional Sovereignty Council and interim government were formed in August 2019. The transition period ended abruptly following a further coup d'état, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, in October 2021 resulting in the Transitional Legislative Council not being established. A civil war between the al-Burhan led Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo broke out in April 2023. In February 2025, the transitional constitution was amended to extend the transitional period for a further 39 months and a Transitional Legislative Authority was put in place to act as Sudan's legislature until a Transitional Legislative Council can be established.
Under the terms of the amended transitional constitution, the members of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and the Cabinet of Sudan serve as ex-officio members of the Transitional Legislative Authority. [1] [2] [3]
