Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A senior member of South Sudan\u2019s main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM-IO) led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny has said that his group is not for any extension of the transitional period, but wants peace implemented before conduct of elections.<\/p>\n

This comes a few days after a member of Other Political Parties (OPP), a signatory to the revitalized peace agreement, said the parties need more time to fully implement the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

Separately, a senior member of the ruling Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM) led by President Salva Kiir Mayardit told Sudans Post this morning that Kiir is weighing on asking the transitional parliament for extension of the transitional period.<\/p>\n

President Salva Kiir has however been calling for conduct of elections in 2023. But his rivals in the opposition including Machar have rejected the calls for conduct of elections before the completion of the formation of the national army.<\/p>\n

Kiir has gone as far as urging the international community to support his intentions to hold general elections slated for end of the transitional period in 2023, which he said will help end cycles of wars and transitions in the world\u2019s youngest country.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sudans Post this morning, Dut Majokdit, member of the SPLM-IO National Liberation Council (NLC), said the SPLM-IO is not for extension of the transitional period, but for full implementation of the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, our call for the implementation of chapter two which deals with the security arrangements should not be confused with our strong believe in elections for people of South Sudan to chose their leader,\u201d Majokdit told Sudans Post from Juba.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are saying led us implement the peace agreement and then go for elections. We are not for extension of the transitional, but let\u2019s first implement peace and then we conduct elections,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
