Quote: Elections were held in November 1953. Isma'il al'Azhari's National Union Party won 50 seats and Azhari became prime minister. The Umma Party, led by Abdullah Khalil, became the major opposition with 23 seats, followed by the Southern Liberal Party with 16 seats. Azhari, once in favor of union with Egypt, switched to support independence, which was declared by the Sudanese parliament for January 1956. A coalition government of Umma, the Liberals, and the new People's Democratic Party, came to power in July 1956 with Khalil as prime minister. Umma won 63 of 173 seats in the March 1958 elections, while the People's Democratic Party won 27 seats, giving rise to the Umma-PDP coalition headed by Khalil. But a military coup in November 1958 suppressed party politics in the Sudan throughout the end of our time period.
