Sudan's embattled President Omar al-Bashir has resigned his position as chairman of the ruling party after more than two months of protests against his nearly three-decade rule, the party said. Some speculated that his actual grip on power may be slipping, and that his next step may be to step down.

According to a party statement released on Friday, al-Bashir delegated his powers as chairman of the National Congress Party to its deputy chairman, Ahmed Harun, until the party's next general conference. Al-Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes committed in Sudan's Darfur region.
