The Cabinet of Sudan usually refers to the chief executive body of the Republic of the Sudan.
The constitutional cabinet was dissolved following the 11 April 2019 Sudanese coup d'état.[1] In August 2019, a transitional government was formed with Abdalla Hamdok as prime minister, and 20 Ministers in the transitional cabinet, during the 39-month democratic transition. Ministers of the transitional cabinet are ineligible to run in the election scheduled to follow the transition period.[2] In October 2021, the transitional government was dissolved following the 2021 Sudanese coup d'état.[3][4][2] A civil war broke out between rival factions within the armed forces in April 2023. Since February 2025, members of the cabinet serve as ex officio members of Sudan's Transitional Legislative Authority.
