By Sabri Dibaco<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) leadership has cautioned aspirants in Western Equatoria State against changing their nomination categories or submitting new forms after collecting nomination documents in Juba.<\/p>\n

The warning was issued by Deng Deng Dau, Chairperson of the SPLM Primaries and Congresses delegation to Western Equatoria State, during a briefing to the State Caretaker Governor, Badagbu Daniel Rimbasa, in Yambio on Monday.<\/p>\n

Deng clarified that the ongoing nomination exercise in Yambio is specifically intended for aspirants who were unable to travel to Juba to collect their nomination forms.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that the exercise should not be treated as a repeat of the nomination process conducted in Juba on October 9, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leadership has records of individuals who collected nomination forms under the party list, geographical constituencies and women’s list,\u201d Deng said.<\/p>\n

He urged aspirants who had already obtained nomination forms in Juba to maintain their original nomination categories and avoid submitting new applications or attempting to change their previous choices.<\/p>\n

Deng further explained that the ongoing exercise provides an opportunity for those who missed the initial process in the capital to participate in the party’s nomination arrangements.<\/p>\n

He encouraged eligible aspirants who had not collected their forms in Juba to take advantage of the exercise in Yambio and exercise their right to participate.<\/p>\n

The clarification comes as the SPLM continues its nomination activities ahead of the party’s internal selection processes for candidates expected to represent it in the forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n

The party has been conducting nomination-related activities through its structures as part of preparations for the December 2026 general elections, which are expected to be the country’s first general elections since independence in 2011.<\/p>\n

The nomination process is expected to determine the party’s candidates across different representation categories, including party lists, geographical constituencies and the women’s list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
