answer text <p>The UK Government notes the recent announcement by the Sudanese National Congress Party (NCP) that it has selected President Bashir as its candidate for the 2020 Presidential election. Through bilateral engagement at Ministerial and official level, the UK continues to urge the Government of Sudan to implement swiftly the recommendations of the National Dialogue process and undertake political reforms that strengthen Sudan's democracy.
