Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s ruling Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM-IG) has postponed the endorsement rally for President Salva Kiir Mayardit in Upper Nile State, initially scheduled for December 2023, to February 2024.<\/p>\n

The delay was attributed to ongoing flooding that has impacted road infrastructure and disrupted travel in the region.<\/p>\n

Governor Joseph Nguen Manytuil of Unity State, chair of the high-level committee for Kiir\u2019s endorsement in Upper Nile, announced the change during a press conference in Juba on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He cited the current flooding situation as the main reason for the postponement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe existing flooding has worsened road networks and hampered infrastructure works in some parts of Upper Nile,\u201d Governor Manytuil stated.<\/p>\n

He further explained that after consultations with the SPLM National Secretariat and a comprehensive assessment of the situation, the committee unanimously decided to reschedule the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, we are postponing the rally from December to February 2024,\u201d he confirmed.<\/p>\n

This change affects various activities initially planned for December, which will now be adjusted to align with the February schedule.<\/p>\n

The Governor concluded the briefing by welcoming further information from other committee members and inquiries from the press.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the postponement aims to ensure a safer and more accessible environment for the rally in light of the current climatic challenges.<\/p>\n

The Upper Nile endorsement rally for Kiir follows the previous endorsement of President Kiir by the Greater Bahr el Ghazal region in July 2023.<\/p>\n

He is also expected to receive the party\u2019s endorsement in Central Equatoria at a later date.<\/p>\n

South Sudan is scheduled to hold its first elections since 2011 in December 2024.<\/p>\n

The endorsement rallies aim to garner support for President Kiir\u2019s candidacy ahead of the national elections.<\/p>\n
