Military and civilian members of Sudan's new ruling body, the Sovereign Council, were sworn in Wednesday at the presidential palace in Khartoum, state news agency SUNA said.
The 11-member Council replaces the now-defunct Transitional Military Council, the head of which, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, was sworn in as head of the Sovereign Council earlier Wednesday.
One member of the Sovereign Council will be sworn in at a later date, SUNA said.
The council replaces the Transitional Military Council that Burhan headed, which had ruled Sudan since the overthrow of long-time president Omar al-Bashir in April.
It is now the highest authority in the country but largely delegates executive powers to the cabinet of ministers.
