Top female official says SPLM should win dominant power share in elections
By James Gatdet Dak
February 17, 2010 (JUBA) – The top female official in the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) has stressed the importance of her party winning a dominant share of power in the upcoming April elections in order to continue implementing its political programs.
“We have to reassure the people that we did not only stay with them during tough times” but also to continue working with them and deliver services to them.
She further explained that her party needed to win a significant share of power in the elections in order to enable it to implement such programs in the next elected government, adding this was also to prove that those fallen heroes and heroines did not die in vain.
“We owe to the fallen heroes,” she told a large group of candidates who also included contestants for governorship in various states.
The workshop aims at educating or reminding the candidates about the SPLM’s vision, its programs and how the contestants would conduct themselves during the campaigns.
With the elections polling day, April 11, only less than two months away, SPLM officials contesting in the Southern Sector are soon expected to begin crisscrossing various payams, counties and states campaigning for their respective seats and mobilizing supporters to vote for Yasir Saeed Arman, for presidency of the Republic of Sudan and Salva Kiir Mayardit for Southern Sudan presidency.
Salva Kiir, who is the incumbent President of the semi-autonomous region and was nominated by his ruling party for the post of presidency, is scheduled to officially launch his election campaign on Saturday, 20th February.
He will compete against another presidential candidate in the South, Dr. Lam Akol Ajawin, chairman of the breakaway Sudan People’s Liberation Movement for Democratic Change (SPLM-DC).
