SSLA inaugurated

JUBA 20 May 2010 – The Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly (SSLA) has been today inaugurated officially following the conclusion of the recent general elections and declaration of the results.


The major tasks of the first sitting of the new parliament were to swear in the members and to elect the speaker and his deputy. The programmes began with prayers by Christian and Muslim clerics after which the clerk of the SSLA, Mr Mark Nyikang Yomon, read the order of the programmes and the decree convening the sitting.


Mr Nyikang then read out the names of all the 170 elected leaders amidst ululations from supporters in the public gallery. The Chief Justice then administered the oath of office to the jovial members who then became bona fide members of the August House.

The MPs swore allegiance to people of Southern Sudan; to obey and respect the Interim constitutions of Southern Sudan and the Republic of the Sudan; to abide by the law; to faithfully discharge the duties of their office; and to serve the people of Southern Sudan to the best of their ability.


Mr Nyikang warned the new members that the office they were assuming is exigent and urged them to surmount the challenges so as to serve the country and the people effectively. The MPs were also challenged to discard any partisan tendencies and do their honest part in serving the country.


The swearing in ceremony was presided over by Prof Bari Wanje, a former parliamentarian, who was the temporary chairperson of session.

33 national and state constituencies re-conduct elections

Saturday, 05 June 2010 15:48 Sudan >>> .33 national and state constituencies started re-conducting electoral voting on Saturday. Head of the High Elections Committee (NEC) in Khartoum State, Musa Mahjoub, told the press that preparations are complete and called on citizens to exercise their democratic right to vote.

Head of the National Constituency Number two in Sinnar State, Awad Al Karim Ahmed Al Sadiq, told Miraya that a high turn-out was witnessed in the constituency despite Saturday's heavy rainfall. He ruled out the need to extend the exercise period because according to Al Sadiq, the process has been well organized.

NEC cancelled April's elections in 33 national and state constituencies, due to electoral errors on ballot cards and candidates' symbols.

The directive includes the following states: Khartoum, West and North Darfur, Red Sea, North Kordofan, Upper Nile, River Nile, Jongeli, Gedaref, Sennar and Kassala.
