Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The newly-appointed deputy governor of South Sudan\u2019s Upper Nile State, Deng Joh Angok, arrived in the state capital Malakal for the first time since being granted the top SPLM party position in the state by President Salva Kiir.<\/p>\n

Angok was appointed on March 18, 2024, replacing Ayong Awer Lual. This made him the highest-ranking SPLM official in the state, as the governor position is held by the main armed opposition SPLM-IO under the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

He arrived in Malakal on Friday and was welcomed by thousands of supporters. Angok thanked the crowd and acknowledged the challenges facing the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply humbled by the warm welcome extended to me by the people of Malakal,\u201d Angok said. \u201cI am fully aware of the challenges that lie ahead, but I am also filled with determination to work tirelessly for the peace and stability of our beloved state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angok emphasized community development as a priority and called for unity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must work together, regardless of our differences, for the greater good of our state and its people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Angok also chairs the state\u2019s ruling party and will have a significant role to play in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

Several high-ranking members of the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement (SPLM) attended the reception, including Stephen Dhieu Dau, Chairperson of the South Sudan Revenue Authority, and Rebecca Joshua Okwaci, SPLM Chief Whip.<\/p>\n
