KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir will not seek re-election, as part of a package of reforms to democratise the country, a senior ruling party official said on Monday.
"(Bashir) announced that he will not enter the coming elections to compete for the presidency," Rabie Abdelati, a senior National Congress Party official told Reuters.
According to Sudan's current constitution, the next presidential elections are due in four years time.
