- Idris, appointed by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, is the first prime minister since the 2021 coup.

SUNA did not specify when a new government, the first since war broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, would be announced.

Idris was appointed by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan's head of state. The RSF has said since earlier this year that it would form its [own parallel government](https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?search=all%3AL2N3PN0QO&linkedFromStory=true) with allied parties.

Idris took the oath of office on Saturday as the country's first prime minister since a military-led coup in 2021.

In a speech on Sunday, he vowed to remain at equal distance from all political parties and to prioritize stability, security, and reconstruction in Sudan.
