Former Central Equatoria Governor Rabi Mujung Emmanuel has announced his intention to run for the governorship of Central Equatoria State. He submitted his application to contest the SPLM primary election, using Form 3 as a candidate for the party's internal primary process. Mujung's decision to run comes after the SPLM announced that those interested in contesting should pick up application forms. He made the announcement on Tuesday, marking the beginning of his campaign.

According to Mujung, his decision to run for the governorship was influenced by the urging of people from his community, both within and outside the state. He stated that he listened to their calls and acknowledged their desire for him to stand as a candidate. Mujung previously served as Governor of Central Equatoria State and is now seeking to reclaim the position. His supporters are expected to play a crucial role in his campaign.

The SPLM primary election will determine the party's flag bearer for the Central Equatoria governorship in the forthcoming elections. Mujung's application has been submitted, and he will face competition from other candidates who have also expressed interest in the position. The winner of the party congress vote will become the SPLM candidate for the Central Equatoria governorship.

Mujung has called on supporters in Central Equatoria to mobilize at the grassroots level and participate in the electoral process. He urged the people of Central Equatoria State to give him the opportunity to serve, so that he may assist the people of South Sudan. Mujung's vision and priorities for the state are expected to be outlined in due course.

The announcement of Mujung's candidacy comes at a time when the country is preparing for elections. The electoral process is expected to be a crucial moment for the country's future, with various parties and candidates vying for positions. Mujung's experience as a former governor is expected to be an asset in his campaign.

Other individuals have also declared their interest in the SPLM primary election for the Central Equatoria governorship. Adil, for example, recently declared his candidacy for the position. The competition for the SPLM flag is expected to be stiff, with multiple candidates seeking to represent the party in the forthcoming elections.

Mujung's return to politics is significant, given his previous experience as Governor of Central Equatoria State.
