Sudan's ruling military council, headed by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and a coalition of opposition and protest groups agreed provisionally to share power for three years on Friday (July 5).
Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti, serves as deputy chairman of the Transitional Military Council (TMC) which has been running Sudan since President Omar Hassan al-Bashir's fall in April.
At a large military parade in the East Nile area outside Khartoum, supporters gathered to hear Dagalo speak, who criticized the former Sudanese dictatorship for neglecting religious leaders.
The deal due to be finalised on Monday, revived hopes for a peaceful transition of power in a country plagued by internal conflicts and years of economic crisis that helped to trigger the overthrow of al-Bashir.
Relations between the military council that took over from Bashir and the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC) alliance broke down when security forces killed dozens as they cleared a sit-in on June 3.
The two sides agreed to establish a sovereign council which will be led for the first 21 months by the military, and for the final 18 months by civilians, according to a statement from the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA), which spearheaded months of protests against Bashir.
