Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A senior member of the main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny is now saying she is not a member of the Machar-led movement after her appointment into the state transitional assembly of Upper Nile state.<\/p>\n

Last week, President Salva Kiir Mayardit reconstituted transitional state legislative assembly for four of the country\u2019s ten states, appointing politicians representing SPLM-IO, SSOA, OPP, FDs, into state parliaments of Upper Nile, Western Equatoria, Central Equatoria and the restive Lakes state.<\/p>\n

Mariah Ajak Kur, a member of the main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement in Opposition in Upper Nile state was among those appointed into parliament of the oil-rich Upper Nile state.<\/p>\n

But the opposition lawmaker who is also the Chairperson of Women\u2019s Union of Renk County now says she is not a member of the Machar-led movement and that she belongs to the ruling SPLM party led by President Salva Kiir Mayardit and that she was surprised by the decree appointing her as a member of the SPLM-IO.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week, I was appointed as a member of the Upper Nile state assembly for the SPLM \u2013 IO seat. I want to confirm to my people that I don\u2019t have any relation with this party and am denouncing this appointment,\u201d Mariam said on Wednesday, according to the Juba-based Eye Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been loyal to SPLM since forever and I want to confirm that I am not a member of SPLM\u2013IO. I am a member of SPLM. I rejected this appointment because I don\u2019t know any person there in the SPLM \u2013 IO and even they did not consult me when my name appeared there as the seat of IO of Renk County. I got shocked because I didn\u2019t have any communication with them,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
