The NCP was established in 1998 by key political figures in the National Islamic Front (NIF) as well as other politicians. The rule of the NCP was the longest and, by most standards, most successful reign in independent contemporary Sudanese history. It grew out of the Islamist student activism of the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], passing through the same revolutionary salafi jihadism. The party followed the ideologies of Islamism, Pan-Arabism, and Arab nationalism. | The NCP was established in 1998 by key political figures in the [[National Islamic Front]] (NIF) as well as other politicians.
