Sudanese political forces to discuss formation of transitional parliament
|
[SUDANTRIBUNE] A spokeswoman for the Central Council of the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) Saturday said that the coalition will hold consultations meeting its different partners to discuss the formation of the Transitional Legislative Council (TLC).
In line with the constitutional document governing the transitional period, 67% of the 300 parliamentary seats (201) are allocated to the FFC including the SRF.
After, the formation of an independent block for the SRF and the signing of a peace agreement, the share of the FFC in the transitional parliament has been reduced to 55%.or 165 seats while the SRF including Minnawi group gets 75 seats.
The remaining 60 seats will go to SPLM-N al-Hilu group and other groups supporting the revolution but are not part of the above-mentioned blocks.
"The FFC Central Council instructed a committee on the TLC formation to hold meetings with the Resistance® Committees, the National Umma Party, the Sudanese Professionals Association and the Revolutionary Front to discuss the formation of the transitional parliament," Amina Mahmoud FFC Spokeswoman told Sudan Tribune.
It is worth noting that the TLC has to be formed by the FFC and the military component of the Sovereign Council.
SRF groups had objected its formation before the signing of a peace deal and threatened to not sign a peace agreement with the transitional government.
Besides the control of the government action, the legislative body has a key role in the transition towards a democratic rule in Sudan as it has to pass a new constitution and an electoral law ahead of general elections within three years.
