8/11/2021: Sudan Tribune - Bashir’s NCP returns to power in Sudan after recent coup: PCP

Sudan Tribune report that the Islamist Popular Congress Party (PCP), formerly part of Omar al-Bashir’s ousted government, warned against the return of al-Bashir’s dissolved National Congress Party (NCP) to power, saying they seek to take advantage of the military coup.

The PCP’s acting Secretary-General Party, Mohamed Badr al-Din, said that the NCP is trying to take control of the state apparatus again.

“The brothers in the NCP must go back and wait until the elections. Also, they have to engage in self-evaluation as we did and explain to the Sudanese people the mistakes they have committed,” Badr al-Din said.

Immediately after the coup, state governors, undersecretaries in the federal ministries, banks and public agencies directors were sacked and replaced by people affiliated to the NCP.
