Political association law passed

The government on Sunday approved a political association act, stating that political parties or organisations who had not yet registered must do so before they can become active within Sudan. They would also have to sign an agreement to abide by the constitution, and to avoid resorting to force or violence for political gain, Sudanese television reported. The law stipulated that any 100 citizens eligible to vote could submit an application to form a political party.
