DUP party to participate in government

A senior member of the opposition Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), Dr Ahmad Bilal, has said that his party will participate in the next government of Sudan. Bilal said his party was in full agreement with the ruling National Congress party with regard to policies and programmes, the official Sudanese news agency (SUNA) reported on Sunday. Bilal said, however, that the nature of his party’s participation had not been discussed or detailed, and that the matter was being worked out at committees level, Suna said. The announcement was made after the opposition Ummah Party said earlier this week that it would not participate in the new government.
