She noted that the registration would spill over to nine states and three administrative areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are launching it here, so that all the states will also start their registration there at the state.\u201d When we finish registering the members, this is where mobilisation will start and the new members will also be registered,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Not for poll yet<\/p>\n<p>She added that SPLM\/A-IO was not anywhere close to preparation for elections until the political parties act is passed to allow parties to officially register.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreparation for election and preparation to register members are two different things. We will come to the election after the party has been registered. For us it will be party registration and for other parties, it is renewal of registration,\u201d Regina added.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2022, SPLM\/A-IO inaugurated a secretariat in Unity State in preparation for party registration after the political parties act is passed.<\/p>\n<p>The Director for Information and Public Relations in the office of the first vice president, Puok Both Baluang, stated that they were not conducting mass mobilisation or rallies for the elections because the election was the last item in implementation of the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElections are the endpoint of the agreement, and this was not a rally.\u201d It was [for] preparing our grassroots and trying to set up our foundation as a political party. \u201cAfter the graduation of the unified forces, we will transform from SPLM\/SPLA-IO to SPLM-IO,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just a start and a foundation, and people have turned up in huge numbers, celebrating the presence of the SPLM\/SPLA-IO in Unity State and other states as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Machar\u2019s movement had been playing cool as SPLM robustly mobilized members in readiness for elections in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Puok told the City Review in May that their major target was to push for implementation of the prerequisites of the Revitalised Peace Agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
