The Sudan Unity Party was a political party in Sudan. The party was formed in the aftermath of the October 1964 Revolution. Santino Deng Teng became the founding president of SUP. Santino Deng, who was based in Khartoum, had been the Minister of Animal Resources during the military government of General Ibrahim Abboud. Per Willis (2015) "Santino Deng, the most egregious of turncoat politicians, had formed a Sudan Unity Party with financial support and political protection from [the National Unionist Party (NUP)]". Another key leader of the party was Philemon Majok, who was appointed to the Sovereignty Council.
