This article lists the heads of government of Sudan, from the establishment of the office of Chief Minister in 1952 until the present day.
The office of prime minister was abolished after the 1989 coup d'état,[1] and reestablished in 2017 as deputy head of government when Bakri Hassan Saleh was appointed prime minister by President Omar al-Bashir.[2]
Abdalla Hamdok was appointed as prime minister and head of government by the Transitional Sovereignty Council on 21 August 2019, as part of the country's transition to democracy.[3] On 25 October 2021, Hamdok was deposed and placed under house arrest, following a coup d'état.[4] On 21 November 2021, Hamdok was reinstated as prime minister as part of an agreement with the military.[5][6] On 2 January 2022, Hamdok resigned as prime minister.[7] Osman Hussein served acting prime minister of Sudan between January 2022 and April 2025.[8]
Kamil Idris was appointed prime minister by the Transitional Sovereignty Council on 31 May 2025.[9]
