According to leaked information, the Transitional Military Council (TMC) selected its chairman, Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, its deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daqlu and three generals, Shams-Eddin Kabashi, Yasir Al-Atta and Ibrahim Jaber, as candidates for the sovereignty council.
Meanwhile, consultations are continuing between the opposition alliance and the TMC, over the selection of the 11th member of the council, according to Al-Haj.
The sovereignty council comprises 11 members: five civilians, five military representatives and one civilian to be selected through mutual consultation.
According to the constitutional declaration, signed by the two sides, the sovereignty council members should have been appointed on Sunday, before the appointees take the constitutional oath on Monday, which will mean automatic dissolution of the TMC.– NNN-SUNA
