According to the 2018 revitalized peace agreement, the country is expected to go to the polls in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during the party\u2019s consultative meeting for interim state and administrative areas chairperson in Juba on Thursday, Lam revealed that the ruling party will hold its third convention before the end of June 2022 to prepare for forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce we have completed our structures, we will embark on preparations for the third SPLM convention which should take place before the end of June 2022. That way, we will be ready for forthcoming elections in 2023,\u201d Lam said<\/p>\n<p>Lam urged its members to embark on mobilization of citizens to participate in the upcoming polls. \u201cWe know that by establishing our grassroots presence, we will mobilize our people and state a robust registration from Bomas, Payams, Counties and State headquarters,\u201d Lam stressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom this process, we will know for sure how many members we have across the country. This will tell us definitively whether we have the votes we need to win forthcoming elections,\u201d he added. The Interim Secretary-General disclosed the ruling party will soon embark on mobilizing funds to facilitate its activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not under the illusion that we don\u2019t have financial resources to effect these challenges, but we have no choice. Money or no money, we must move forward from where we are now as SPLM.
