He became more prominent when a former President, Gaafar Nimeiry, appointed him chief of staff, and later minister of defence and general commander of the armed forces, in 1984.

In 1985, he staged a coup ousting Nimeiry.

This made him to become the chairman of Transitional Military Council.

Following elections, he surrendered power to the government of Sadiq al-Mahdi in 1986.
