SSLA inaugurated

Quote:
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.





Members of the SSLA taking the oath of office


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.

Kiir sworn-in as GOSS President

Quote:
JUBA, 21 May 2010 – H.E. Salva Kiir Mayardit today took the oath of office of the President of the Government of Southern Sudan (GOSS). President Kiir was sworn into office by the President of the Supreme Court of Southern Sudan, Justice John Wol Makec, in a colourful ceremony held at the Dr John Garang mausoleum in Juba.


President Kiir won the seat with a landslide garnering 2,616,613 votes, constituting 93 percent of the votes cast in the recently concluded elections. His only opponent, Dr Lam Akol Ajawin only managed a paltry 197,217, which was a measly 7 percent of the votes.

The ceremony was witnessed by local and regional leaders among them President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda; Hon Kalonzo Musyoka, Vice-President of Kenya; Osman Taha, Vice-President of the Republic of Sudan; Hon Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, former President of Kenya; and the chief negotiator of the CPA Gen Lazarus Sumbeywo; among other dignitaries. Also in attendance were delegations from the African Union, Arab League, IGAD, Eritrea, Ethiopia and South Africa, among others.


The occasion was considered as the second sitting of the Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly (SSLA) and was chaired by Hon James Wani Igga, the speaker of the SSLA. Hon Wani Igga called the meeting to order shortly after 11am and declared that it was a sitting of the SSLA attended by 168 members of parliament.


Before taking the oath of office, President Kiir laid a wreath at the grave of the late Dr John Garang de Mabior. The master of ceremonies was H.E. Dr Luka Monoja, the caretaker minister for Cabinet Affairs.

33 national and state constituencies re-conduct elections

Quote:
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.
