𝐉𝐮𝐛𝐚, 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟖, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 —President Salva Kiir Mayardit and SPLM chairman has tasked senior SPLM leaders, with the responsibility of unifying the party members ahead of the 2026 general elections.
President Kiir was speaking at the SPLM House in Juba, during the swearing in ceremony of Dr. James Wani Igga as party’s First deputy chairman and Dr. Akol Paul Kordit as the Secretary General on Tuesday.
President Kiir urged the SPLM leadership to secure another popular mandate from the people of South Sudan as it did in the 2010 general elections, urging them to revitalize the party and strengthening its grassroots connections through the equitable provision of basic services. This, he said is aimed at reigniting the founding principles of the mother party.
The President strongly urged party members to mobilise their supporters in the constituencies and ensure that the SPLM remains a party for the people and will accomplish its historic objectives.
Senior party leaders stressed that the event signalled a renewed commitment by the leadership to rejuvenate the party’s political base, foster inclusivity, and guarantee that SPLM retains its central position in shaping South Sudan’s democratic trajectory.
