SPLM calls to extend Sudan’s polling period
April 11, 2010 (JUBA) — The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) today has called on the National Elections Commission (NEC) to extend the polling period from three to seven days.
Kwaje said strange names were also detected in various states and counties which should not have possessed such names. Dr. Kwaje said the situation looked like if random names were printed and people were given voting slips to cast votes using such names.
Dr. Kwaje explained that while the final list of names were supposed to be published at least 48 hours before the polling day, the names were brought hours after polling time, causing stampede among voters who rushed to see if their names were available.
He said the incumbent minister of Cabinet Affairs, Dr. Luka Tombekana Monoja, who contests for Juba South Constituency No. 2 parliamentary seat, could not vote because he was among the victims who did not find their names in the list published in the station he registered from.
The situation has caused confusions among the voters on how to allocate their names and whether their names really existed somewhere in different locations.
About 4 million registered southern Sudanese voters are casting their votes in the first multi-party elections in Sudan since 1986.
The southern Sudanese voters have to cast 12 ballots, which prompts concerns due to spread of illiteracy in the region which had suffered about two decades of civil war.

Dear South Sudanese,
The same Dr. Samson Kwaje who just survived a near-missed assassination because of the corruption in Equatoria, south Sudan is the same man hypocritically complaining about irregularites? God save South Sudan!!! He is the leader in irregularities. Dr. Samson Kwaje is Kiir’s right-handed man in this pre-rigged election in south sudan. And confusion is the name of their election game. But the citizens have a right to uprising if they deemed the situation not fair.

The distribution of the ballats should be revised and properly monitored, who are those who distributed the ballots, it seems the ballots all over Sudan wether north or south had problems with names, people not finding their names or names placed in other areas where they should not have been, this has to be investigated, who was distributing which ballots to which areas? and why names where misplaced or missing, even NCP member are said to be complaining about their own names missing, so what is going on? Abel Alier has to come out tomorrow and make things clear or the voting has to be pushed for 7 days, 3 days will not be enough to look for names and vote.

Dear readers,
The strange names that appear in the election lists need not to puzzle any one in the South Sudan because we all know that different people logged them in the computer for print and in fact that can atomatically create unfamiliar names acrros the South. We we make noise for this obvious thing while we know that not individual person write his name in the computer. How many mistakes people do when typing and how man mispelling people encounter when you attempt to examine the writing of different people.
Yes, i agree that there are strange names because some people logged the names of South Sudanese which might be difficult and hard to spell in the Computer. Is this similar to Fruad? no, because some are typo.
Is these means the favoring of other candidates? no
Is it aproblem? yes, but not to the extend that it can create violence because it’s aminute mistakes that can not considered to deface the election.
We should choice the wining candidate because on the surveys in his or her box not for the names.
Thanks
Samson
