Parliamentary elections were held in Sudan on 2 and 25 November 1953, prior to the implementation of home rule. The result was a victory for the recently founded National Unionist Party, led by Ismail al-Azhari, which won 51 of the 97 seats in the House of Representatives and was invited to form a government. The NUP also secured a majority in the Senate, winning 21 of the 30 indirectly elected seats, which were chosen by local and provincial councils; a further 10 of the 20 Senate members were nominated by British Governor-General.
Although the Umma Party and sections of the British press alleged that Egypt had interfered in the election, it was generally regarded as free and fair.
