Defence Minister Awad Ibn Auf, who is the head of the country's military, made the decision less than 48 hours after leading a coup that toppled leader Omar al-Bashir.
He made the announcement on state TV and named Lt Gen Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhanas his successor.
It comes after thousands of protestors ignored a curfew and refused to leave the streets.
They said Auf was too close to Bashir.
The army will stay in power for two years before an election is held.
