JUBA – The ruling Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) has announced receiving a donation of 5 billion South Sudanese Pounds (SSP) from a company named Digital Dots Interior Designing Ltd as the party prepares for South Sudan’s first general elections scheduled for December 2026.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the SPLM said the contribution was formally received by the party’s Secretary General, Dr. Akol Paul Kordit, who thanked the company for what the party described as a demonstration of “comradeship” and commitment to the SPLM.
“The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) wishes to express its profound gratitude and sincere appreciation to Digital Dots Interior Designing Ltd company for their generous contribution of 5 Billion South Sudanese Pounds to the party,” the statement said.
According to the party, Kordit acknowledged the significance of the financial support, while the SPLM leadership praised the company for its contribution.
“The leadership of the party commended Digital Dots Interior Designing Ltd for their exemplary spirit of comradeship and their commitment to the party,” the statement added.
The donation comes at a politically significant time as the SPLM intensifies preparations for the country’s long-delayed general elections, currently scheduled for December 2026 under the extended transitional roadmap.
While the party did not disclose the purpose of the donation or whether the funds would be used for campaign activities or other party operations, the contribution is one of the largest publicly announced financial donations to the SPLM in recent years.
Digital Dots Interior Designing Ltd is not new to sponsoring SPLM activities. In May 2025, the company sponsored celebrations marking the 43rd anniversary of SPLA Day, held at the SPLM House in Juba.
However, little public information is available about the company’s ownership, shareholders, or business operations, raising questions about the source and scale of its financial support to the ruling party.
The SPLM statement did not address those issues or provide further details about the donation agreement.
Political party financing remains one of the least transparent aspects of South Sudan’s political landscape, with limited public disclosure requirements regarding donations from private companies and individuals.
The latest contribution comes as political parties begin positioning themselves for what is expected to be South Sudan’s first national elections since independence in 2011, with the ruling SPLM expected to mount an extensive nationwide campaign.
