Spread the news

Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, Sudan’s top general and military leader, has promised he will not stand for a government position in the upcoming July 2023 elections. This statement of his came weeks after he had collapsed a transitional government in a globally condemned coup.

Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan has promised to hand over power to an elected civilian government in future. His announcement will however not prevent other top generals from ripping off their military titles to become candidates. He has always expressed his commitment to a peaceful transition and election.

He said “We will honour our pledge, the pledge we made to the people and the international community, that we are committed to completing the transition, holding the elections as scheduled, and to respect all political activities, as long as they remain peaceful and in line with the constitution and the active parts of the Constitutional Declaration.”
