Sudan's National Umma Party has started a process to review and amend its constitution. The party organized a workshop on constitutional amendments, which was attended by various political and legal leaders. The workshop aimed to create a national project that is based on consensus from the grassroots level to the central level. The party's goal is to develop a political program that is acceptable to all Sudanese citizens.
The workshop discussed the need to review the current constitution and legislation governing the work of political forces. Participants emphasized that any text that contradicts the law will be considered defective. They also called for the party's general conference to be held as soon as possible to unify visions and prioritize the next stage. The party's leadership, including Abdul Rahman Al-Sadiq Al-Mahdi, attended the workshop.
The National Umma Party plans to prepare a national program that starts from local councils and moves up to the central level. The party's deputy chairman, Dr. Ibrahim Al-Amin Abd Al-Qader, stated that the program aims to build a political structure that is based on a popular foundation and represents all Sudanese citizens without discrimination.
