Khartoum: Sudan's Vice-President Ali Osman Taha, a key figure behind the Islamist-backed coup 24 years ago, has resigned to pave the way for a new government, President Omar al-Bashir said.
"Ali Osman will voluntarily step down", as he did in 2005 following the signing of a peace agreement that ended 22 years of civil war, Bashir was quoted by the official SUNA news agency as saying yesterday.
Sudan's state media has reported the resignation of the country's First Vice President, Ali Osman Taha. The announcement comes amid reports that President Omar Hassan Al Bashir is now preparing to form a new government.
Sudan presidency spokesperson Imad Seed Ahmed dismissed reports indicating that Taha has been ousted.
Mr Ahmed further confirmed in a press release on Friday that there are no disputes over the stepping down of Mr Taha and all the other official figures.
“Taha has stepped down voluntarily because he supported the change and to open more opportunities to the new generations,” he explained.
Media reports revealed that there are disputes among the government after President Bashir ousted his first vice president Ali Osman Taha, vice president Alhaj Adam and the senior assistant of the president Nafia Ali Nafia.
The reports have also confirmed the resignation of all the 18 governors of the states. President Bashir dissolved the cabinet earlier this week.
