The chief justice of Sudan is the head of the
Supreme Court of Sudan and is "responsible for administering the judicial authority before the Supreme Judicial Council."[1][2]
Nemat Abdullah Khair, the current chief justice, was claimed by Sudan Daily and Khartoum Star as being appointed as the first female chief justice of Sudan in late August 2019.[3][4] On 12 September 2019, two thousand protestors called for Abdelgadir Mohamed Ahmed to be appointed Chief Justice instead.[5][6] Khair was formally appointed as Chief Justice of Sudan by decree on 10 October 2019.[7]
