Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok has dissolved his cabinet and is expected to announce a new one on Monday.
The office of the Prime Minister in a statement said the ministers would remain in office until the new ones take office and full handover done.
“In accordance with the provisions of the constitutional document for the transitional period, the prime minister issued a decision today to relieve the ministers and ministers of state in the government of the transitional period from their posts and end the assignment of the acting ministers,” the statement said.
Sudan has been under a transitional council since 2019 when former President Omar al-Bashir was ousted.
The country is moving towards democratic rule after the removal of al-Bashir who had been president for nearly 30 years.
Earlier on Sunday, the Council of Transitional Period Partners in Sudan agreed to announce the new government on Monday.
The peace deal signed by the Sudanese government and armed groups in Juba, South Sudan, on October 3, 2020, stipulated involvement of the signatory groups in the transitional period structures, including the sovereign council, the cabinet and the legislative council.
