Structure
SLP was led by the General National Congress, which was held every two years. The Congress elected the Central Committee (leading body), the General Control Committee (controlling body), and General Party Court (legal body). The Central Committee elected the Executive Committee, which was the day-to-day executive body. The Control Committee and Party Court were independent of the executive leadership.
SLP had branches and units in 16 major towns. It was relatively strong in Atbara, Almuglad, Kosti, and Kadugli. However, much of the SLP membership was concentrated in the Khartoum region, which is home to a fifth of the country's population.
Nour Tawir Kafi Abu Rass was the President of the party; Tag Al sir Al Atta was the Vice-President. Mudathir Khamees was the last General Secretary of the Party while Zahra Hayder was the Secretary-General of the Party. Adil Abdel Aati was a prominent leader of the SLP and one of its best-known members.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“When a house is tottering to its fall,
The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
Is all good structure in a winding stair?
May no lines pass, except they do their duty
Not to a true, but painted chair?”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
