Sudan's new Prime Minister in the transitional government Abdalla Hamdok.
What you need to know:
The belief in Abdalla Hamdok comes from the many senior positions he has held in various organisations in the last three decades.
His experience at the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance is likely to come in handy as Sudan embarks on a transition to civilian rule from decades of military rule since independence in 1956.
Dr Hamdok has been involved in addressing diverse development challenges of the African policy landscape, primarily in the fields of governance, institutional analysis, public sector reforms, regional integration and resource management.
