KHARTOUM: Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir has handed his powers as chief of the country’s ruling party to his newly appointed deputy, the party said late Thursday, weeks into protests against Al-Bashir’s rule.
The move came after Al-Bashir last week imposed a year-long state of emergency and dissolved the government in a bid to quell demonstrations and deadly clashes that have rocked the country since December.
“President Omar Al-Bashir has transferred his authority as chief of the party to Ahmed Harun,” the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) said in a statement.
