South Sudan National Movement for Change Party (SSNMC) which was formed by the likes of Joseph Bangasi Bakosoro is facing a chaotic power struggle.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The party is at the verge of splitting into two factions, with each asserting its legitimacy.<\/p>\n One group, headed by Clement Juma, while the other, under Central Equatoria State Minister of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agency, Moro Isaac Genesio.<\/p>\n In a document seen by this outlet, David De Dau, a spokesperson for SSNMC allied to Clement Juma informed South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) leadership that Moro Isaac is not the legitimate trailblazer.<\/p>\n De Dau vowed a legal suit if Moro continues to claim leadership of the party.<\/p>\n \u201cThe leadership of SSNMC clarifies to SSOA that Moro Isaac Jenesio is not the chairperson of the SSNMC as claimed,\u201d partly reads the letter.<\/p>\n De Dau intimated that SSNMC name is legally reserved at the South Sudan Political Parties Council under the leadership of Hon. Clement Juma.<\/p>\n \u201cTherefore, we urge the self-proclaimed group of Moro Isaac to abstain from the use of the name as a legal case may be invoked if they persist,\u201d it stressed.<\/p>\n Mr. De Dau distanced his group from a complaint by a group, accusing governor, Emmanuel Adil of plotting to ouster Moro Isaac who is also the Minister of Local Government and Law Enforcement Agency.<\/p>\n The disgruntled group also called on their senior coalition leader, Vice President Hussein Abdelbagi to relieve Josephine Lagu from SSOA chairmanship and elect a new leader to the helm, citing that her 3 years term has ended.<\/p>\n In rebuttal, the minister of local government, Mr. Moro trashed De Dau\u2019s claim, terming it as \u2018baseless\u2019 and \u2018unfounded\u2019 allegations.<\/p>\n Moro said that he is the real boss of the South Sudan National Movement for Change.<\/p>\n \u201cThis statement is not true, I was an elected leader of the South Sudan national movement for change,\u201d Moro told No.1 Citizen Daily Newspaper<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cDau defected to SPLM and he is also leading a political party called Rainbow People’s Party, so he’s not a member of the SSNMC this was a group that defected, they left SSNMC with the former chair,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n He said until the elections were conducted in September 2021, the duo was not a member of the SSNMC outfit, adding the wrangle was within SSOA and not his party\u2019s concern.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, these are proxy organizations created to add to the fight within SSOA. You cannot come from anywhere and open a suit against another person, who’s the property or who’s the organization you claim to be part of – the question of legal suit is not a threat it should be something real.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Moro, the issue was resolved long ago because there is no legality, but some bigwig individuals are behind the current wrangling.<\/p>\n He further added the group is always against any leader who is principal, resilient and does the right thing.<\/p>\n Moro\u2019s ascension to power <\/strong><\/p>\n On September 2021, Maj. Gen. Moro Isaac Genesio was elected as the chairperson of the SSNMC in an extraordinary convention held in Juba.<\/p>\n He replaced the former chairman Joseph Bangasi Bakosoro who abandoned his party and rejoined the South People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM) party.<\/p>\n Prior to his election, Ishag Elias Ibrahim Towo, who was the deputy chairman of the party was the interim chairperson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By William Madouk South Sudan National Movement for Change Party (SSNMC) which was formed by the likes of Joseph Bangasi Bakosoro is facing a chaotic power struggle.
