Approved for Release: 2019/08/20 C02066866 ii —sEeRE-'11 llasir Attempts to Counteract._Setbacl;in the Sudan President Nasir has moved to counteract the setback to Egyptian political. influence in the Sudan represented by the recent election success of Prime Minister Khalil's pro-Western Umma party. He has ordered the payment of funds to the Umma's major rival, the pro-=Egyptian National Unionist party (NUP), for use in buying the allegiance of "independents" elected to the new parliament. He has also ordered the start of an effort to "amalgamate" the NUP with the People's Democratic party (PDP), the Umma's chief support in the coalition now planning to form a new governe- ment. The uncertain loyalties of a considerable number of newly elected representatives, as well as the unofficial nature of the announced returns, make present estimates of relative party strengths only tentative. It appears, however, that Khalil will need the support of about 20 members outside his own party in order to oontrol a bare majority in the 173- member house and ensure his continuance as prime minister. He is counting on the support of most of the estimated 25 PDP and 18 Southem Liberal party (SLT) members and will prob- ably be backed by some of the approximately 25 "independents." Nothing less than a mass defection from the coalition could give control to the NUP core of 44-45 members. It is unlikely that Nasir's efforts to win or buy opposition to the coalition will prevent Khalil's retention of the premier- ship and control of a house majority, but a significant accre- tion of pro-Egyptian strength could hinder his freedom of ace tion. \ -5).-3'-GR-E-"F r-|:v.|1'n1_\| IMTFIIIFZFMFF RIIIIFTIN 914 Mar 58 Approved for Release: 2019/06/20 002066666 Page
