The registration exercise was officially launched on Wednesday at the SPLM Central Equatoria State Secretariat in Juba by the party’s First Deputy Chairperson and Vice President for Economic Cluster James Wani Igga.
The launch marks the start of the party’s membership registration campaign across all counties, payams and bomas in Central Equatoria State, with less than five months until the December 2026 elections.
The exercise is intended to encourage party members to formally register and actively participate in the SPLM’s.
Addressing party members during the event, Igga underscored the importance of teamwork within the ruling party, saying every member has a role to play in strengthening the SPLM.
He urged members to work collectively to advance the party’s objectives, stressing that success depends on unity and cooperation among all supporters.
The Vice President also emphasized the need to fully involve women and young people in the party’s affairs, saying their participation should extend beyond election campaigns to include leadership and decision-making processes.
According to the statement issued by the Office of the Vice President for the Economic Cluster and First SPLM Deputy Chairperson, Igga encouraged all party members to register so they can exercise their democratic rights and contribute to shaping the party’s future.
The membership registration campaign is expected to be rolled out throughout Central Equatoria, reaching communities at the county, payam and boma levels as the SPLM intensifies preparations for the anticipated polls.
Senior officials from both the SPLM National Secretariat and the Central Equatoria State Secretariat attended the launch, signaling the party leadership’s commitment to the registration exercise.
The ruling SPLM has been stepping up internal mobilization efforts in recent months as political parties prepare for South Sudan’s general elections, which are scheduled to take place in December. The membership registration campaign is expected to strengthen the party’s organizational structures while expanding its support base across the state.
