National Consensus Forces (NCF) is a coalition of political parties in Sudan opposed to the rule of the National Congress Party, and was initially formed to stand against the NCP in the 2010 Sudanese elections. The chairman of the coalition is Farouk Abu Issa.

Policies

The Popular Congress Party, the National Umma Party, and the Sudanese Communist Party later signed the Democratic Alternative Charter (DAC) on 4 July 2012, committing themselves to overthrowing the NCP through various peaceful political and popular means and establishing a civil and democratic state. The DAC has been signed by 19 opposition parties. The NCF later outlined their plan for a transitional government to lead Sudan in the post-NCP phase. The NCF's plan involves the establishment of a parliament, a presidential council of six members representing six regions after restructuring the current federal system and an executive government of 20 ministers.
