The ruling coalition and peace partners in Sudan have exceeded the time limit stipulated in the Juba Peace Agreement to form the new government by two weeks.
This delay has prompted Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok to call on all parties to speed up the government formation and avoid a political vacuum in the country.
He urged the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC) and the Sudanese Revolutionary Front (SRF) to scrutinize the candidates swiftly while adhering to the standards of competence, qualification, experience, integrity, and observance of the equitable participation of women.

The pressure for Sudan s far left to be isolated from the country s politics reached its climax this week with the formation of a new council from which its representatives will be excluded. The President of Sudan and leader of the ruling Sovereign Transitional Council (STC), Abdel Fatah Al-Burhan, has secured himself as head of the new Council of Transition Partners (CTP) without appointing a deputy, but has already signalled that members of the communist and far left parties will not be invited as members of the new body.
In a letter announcing its formation, he said that the CTP has been created specifically to incorporate the armed groups who had recently signed a peace deal to end decades of hostilities. The new council will be responsible for leading the transition period, resolving differences [between those in power] and having all the necessary prerogatives to exercise its power, reported Sudan s official news agency.
