South Sudan\u2019s political future and the much-anticipated democracy remain theoretical ideal but only,<\/strong>
\nthe presence and operationalization of parties\u2019 office are heart soothing hope of the expected polls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The social media, of recent, is awash with posts of political parties launching offices in Juba and in
\nthe states: this rekindles the heart and scatters off the anguish of uncertainty in the minds of the
\ncitizens.<\/p>\n

Those who have access to the national broadcaster SSBC, never miss the screen painted red, with a
\nmammoth of the ruling SPLM cadres jubilating over one event after the other.<\/p>\n

Likes of the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO), sprung to action on
\nsocial media to equal their elder, the SPLM-IG which holds monopoly of the mainstream outlets.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, according to the posts, SPLM-IO officially launched its secretariat and a
\nregistration exercise of its members in the upper Nile State capital Malakal.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of people and party supporters donning blue T-shirts and caps on Saturday marched to
\nreceive the party\u2019s Secretary General, Regina Joseph Kappa, and other dignitaries from Juba.<\/p>\n

SPLM-IO launched its Malakal secretariat under the theme \u201cTowards a democratic, united, and
\nprosperous South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, the National Democratic Movement party also launched its Juba office in Orange colour
\nafter the South Sudan National Movement for Change (SSNMC) held a convention in the city.<\/p>\n

The ruling SPLM-IG is today boosting its presence in the Bahr El Ghazal region with a big bang.<\/p>\n

As reggae icon, late Lucky Dube puts it in his song \u201cDifferent colours, one people\u201d, freedom of the
\npolitical parties add beautiful colours, splendor and embrace of a nation ready for peaceful ambience.<\/p>\n

Political pluralism as opposed to the adage \u201cunited we stand\u201d, ushering space for players in turn.
\ncreating vacancies for all actors who would otherwise suffocate under one part system.<\/p>\n

\u201cDivided we survive\u201d; Ok, it\u2019s at the blow of the last whistle of the electoral commission that defines.
\nwho takes the cake or lion\u2019s share of it.<\/p>\n

Our optimistic citizens and political enthusiasts await decongestion of the house of leadership, which.
\nat the moment is overcrowded with numerous deputies, this will possibly be sorted in the political
\narena.<\/p>\n

An African proverb that says \u201cmany rats in a hall do not dig deep\u201d could reflect the developmental
\naspect of the crowded portfolios, hence the need to trim such areas for development to take a lead.<\/p>\n

However, key stakeholders should speed up enactment of other requirements to pave the ways for
\nother processes to be set in place for the actualization and realization of democracy in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
