South Sudan's SPLM party is conducting a membership registration exercise aimed at strengthening participation and providing an accurate membership database. The exercise, which allows new members to join the party while giving existing members an opportunity to renew their membership, is also expected to help the SPLM establish an updated record of its membership from the grassroots to the national level. This move comes as the party prepares for its internal activities and the upcoming general elections.
Central Equatoria State SPLM Chairperson, Emmanuel Adil Anthony, has called on party members to reject tribalism and division while promoting unity and discipline within the party. Adil made these remarks during the registration exercise, urging members to respect the party leadership and work together. He commended leaders and members of the three Greater Juba blocks for their mobilisation efforts, which have contributed to the success of the exercise so far.
The registration exercise is taking place in the three Greater Juba blocks, Munuki, Kator, and Juba, which form part of the capital's political and organisational structures. Adil emphasised that members should resolve internal differences through established party structures, rather than allowing internal differences to create divisions within the party. He called on members to respect the party's leadership and work together towards strengthening the SPLM at all levels.
Adil's call for unity and discipline within the party comes as the SPLM continues preparations for its national convention and electoral processes. The party has recently intensified preparations for these activities, with a focus on promoting unity and discipline among its members. Adil urged party members to remain united and disciplined, warning against tribalism and internal divisions that could undermine the party's progress.
Vice President and the first deputy chairperson of the SPLM party, Dr. James Wani Igga, has also emphasised the importance of unity among party members. According to him, maintaining unity of purpose is crucial for the continued functioning of the party and its members across the country. Igga extended his call for dialogue beyond the SPLM, urging party members to engage with members of other political parties for the benefit of the country.
The SPLM party has continued to emphasise unity and discipline among its members as it prepares for the political activities ahead. The party brings together people from different backgrounds and walks of life, and maintaining this unity is essential for its success. Adil's call for party members to reject tribalism and division is seen as a move to promote unity and strengthen the party's position ahead of the general elections.
The membership registration exercise is expected to conclude soon, with the SPLM party expected to establish an updated record of its membership. The exercise has been successful so far, with many members turning out to register or renew their membership. The party's leadership has expressed satisfaction with the progress of the exercise, which is seen as a crucial step towards strengthening the party's position ahead of the general elections.
