1952 CE

Britain, over Egyptian objections, authorizes the partially elected consultative Legislative Assembly representing both Sudanese regions to supersede the advisory executive council in 1948.

The Legislative Assembly has its own executive council consisting of five British and seven Sudanese members.

A number of elected local government bodies gradually takes over the responsibilities of the former British local commissioner, starting with El Obeid, the center of the gum arabic industry.

By 1952 it is reported that Sudan has fifty-six local self-governing authorities.

The pro-Egyptian NUP had boycotted the 1948 Legislative Assembly elections.

As a result, pro-independence groups dominate the Legislative Assembly.
