Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>JUBA \u2014 South Sudan\u2019s main armed opposition Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) led by First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny has promised political and religious freedoms if elected into power during the country\u2019s upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

This however comes as the opposition groups defies calls for elections in 2023 before the implementation of the whole revitalized peace agreement it signed with President Salva Kiir\u2019s ruling SPLM faction in 2018.<\/p>\n

President Salva Kiir Mayardit has indicated on several occasions that the country will conduct elections with or without the opposition consent, but Machar and other opposition leaders have dismissed it as a ploy to rig vote if the security arrangements provision is not implemented.<\/p>\n

In a statement, senior member of the SPLM-IO and close ally of First Vice President Machar Dut Majokdit said the people of South Sudan trust his group the most and promised changes to the country\u2019s civil space if elected into power.<\/p>\n

\u201cSPLM (IO) is the only ringtone that can be heard by our civil population to bring change through its ideology under Dr. Riek Machar with SPLM (IO) as the leading Party after the elections,\u201d he said in the statement extended to Sudans Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole country will be free, with freedom of expression, political and religious speeches in abundance and the right of all irrespective of our diversity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
