Its leader Mr. Clement Mbugoniwa who is currently on a tour that is taking him to Tambura, Namutina, Nagero, Mupoi, Source Yubu and Bariguna reported to have conducted a political rally in Source Yubu on Wednesday which was attended by hundreds of people.

Mr. Mbugoniwia also visited Ngboko while he was in Source Yubu and held meetings with several people there. He proceeded to Bariguna this morning where he will be joined by one of his candidates Mr. Carmelo Sangu who is contesting in Ezo for SSLA.

Reliable sources in Ezo say Mr. Carmelo Sangu seems to be leading in the opinion poll.

In Tambura where he and his team have spent more than 5 days, Mr. Clement held several meetings with community leaders, Church leaders and local chiefs. He is scheduled to meet with the youth upon his return from Source Yubu and Bariguna.

In another development, sources close to the RCC (Roman Catholic Church) revealed that there will be special prayers on Sunday for peaceful campaign in the state.

Meanwhile, one MP who is believed to be one of the candidates Mr. Clement will be contesting against in the Tambura constituency is reported to have filed a complaint against Mr. Clement to the NEC saying that Mr. Clement is not fit to run for elections because he is living in UK or have spent many years abroad.

But according to the law, any son or daughter of South Sudan who has been living in exile has the right to return to his motherland and take part in the political development of the country.

General elections in Sudan are due in April, if held the elections shall be Sudan’s multiparty elections in 24 years.

    Dear John James,

    I am very much sure about that though I don’t know you physically;your names and words qualified you to be from Equatoria where people are money minded.Anyway,Dinkas are there to fight for you but remember….Enough is enough and we are going to,if you don’t open your ‘nyiin’ otherwise.

    You support your men but bear in mind that SPLA/M has done something good for you Equatorians in Equatoria if you are not told by your illiterate people.I will teach you a lesson if you still keep on talking like that please.
