The Nuba Mountains Union (Arabic: اتحاد جبال النوبا) was a political party in Sudan. It was founded in October 1964.[1] The party was an alliance of tribal and political leaders in the Kordofan province.[2] The formation of the party reflected discontent with traditional parties, and was contemporary with other regional parties in north Sudan like the Beja Congress and the Darfur Development Front.[1][3] The call to form the party came from Nuba students at the University of Khartoum.[1][4] The party favoured bifurcation of Kordofan, creating a separate Southern Kordofan (including the Nuba Mountains) region.[1][5]
The party gathered Muslims, Christians and Animists, although it later suffered a split when Philipp Abbas (who had anti-Arab/anti-Muslim orientation) broke away from the party.[1][6]
In 1965 the party sent a petition to the Sudanese government, calling for economic and social development and the abolition of the Poll Tax in the Nuba Mountains.[1] The party won seven seats in the 1965 election, contesting as independents.[7][8]
The party contested two seats in the 1968 Constituent Assembly election, and won both.[9][10] In total the party obtained 3,171 votes (0.17%) of the national vote).[9][11]
