The party was disbanded after the Sudanese government revoked the Public Order Law.

Protesters had demanded the dissolution of the ex-ruling party and the repeal of the draconian moral policing law.

The dissolution of the National Congress Party (NCP) now gives the transitional authorities power to sieze its assets.

A spokeswoman for the Sudanese Professionals Association hailed the dissolution of the former ruling party as a historic milestone.

"This is a moment of relief, because each and every person in Sudan has been affected in some way or the other by this regime in a negative manner," spokeswoman Samahir Mubarak told the BBC.

The transitional authority was established after a power-sharing agreement was struck between civilian protesters and military generals.

The announcement of the dissolution of the ex-ruling party was confirmed the country's prime minister.

"We have passed this law in a joint meeting with our partners in the Sovereign Council to take its full legitimacy," Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok said as quoted by Gulf Today.
