The Democratic Unionist Party (Hizb Al-Ittihadi Al-Dimuqrati) is a political party in Sudan. The Democratic Unionist Party is one of the oldest parties in Sudan. Sudan's first post-independence President Ismail Al-Azhari was a member of the party when it was known as the National Unionist Party. The party's main platform is in favour of the integration or union of Sudan and Egypt. There is evidence to suggest that Egyptian authorities bribed Democratic Unionist Party members and the electorate in Sudan's elections in the late 50's. Today there are three factions of the Democratic Unionist Party. One of these factions is led by the son of Sudan's first President, Muhammad Ismail Al-Azhari. Another DUP faction is led by AlSharif Zein AlAbdin Al-Hindi who hails from a Political family. The third and main DUP faction is led by the spiritual head of the Khatmiyya sufi sect, AlSayed Muhammad Othman Al-Mirghani who resides in Egypt. The last legislative elections, December 2000, were boycotted by the party. The DUP is represented in Sudan's Government of National Unity in the executive and legislature of North Sudan. A political party is an organization that seeks to attain political power within a government, usually by participating in electoral campaigns. ... A legislature is a governmental deliberative body with the power to adopt laws. ... Politics of Sudan Categories: Election related stubs | Elections in Sudan ...
