Turabi re-nominated as speaker

Sudan’s parliament today re-nominated Hassan Turabi as speaker of the house, two days after he had resigned to work full time for the ruling party, AP reported. If Turabi, the country’s most influential politician, accepts the nomination as expected, he will hold the post until the end of the parliament’s term in April 2000, AP said.
