February 22,2010 (KHARTOUM) — The leading member of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement, James Wani Igga today in Juba said chances of his party to win upcoming national elections are high.


SPLM’s Yasir Arman "We are optimistic that results of the upcoming national elections will come out in our favor; because most of our contesting candidates for top positions are those with history of commitment to changing Sudan to a better country," Igga said.

He said SPLM is the only credible political party that can rehabilitate Sudan from damages it has suffered for so long. "SPLM is the only medicine for all political illness affecting Sudanese people in the South, in the far north, far East and in the war ravaged region of Darfur," he stressed.

Therefore, "because of our history for total liberation of Sudan into a safe heaven, we are optimistic and urge our supporters and the Sudanese people to rally behind comrade Yasir Saeed Arman for the national seat and comrade Salva Kiir Mayardit for South Sudan presidency to win upcoming elections," Igga said.

The SPLM national electoral campaign team chairman described Mr. Arman as the long-serving patriot member of his party capable of changing the face of suffering Sudanese people across the country.

"Arman is the only medicine which political bureau has so far approved as alternative to treating long term chronic disease diagnosed in the SPLM vision of the new. Sudanese votes for him at the national level are alternatives to solving and alleviating national suffering the country has undergone for years," he said.

Similarly, Akol Wek, supporter of the SPLM reiterated that SPLM is the only political party that will change this nation from dictatorship to democracy.

"Sudanese as they are historical people and I that I call upon them to come out like they in their respected places took up arms to fight against efforts of marginalization by voting for Comrade Yasir Arman as leader of their choice."

He said applauded SPLM decision to name Arman as candidate for Sudanese presidency to bring equal changes as clearly spelled out in SPLM manifesto of the New Sudan.

Appreciating his speech he said "Arman selects his words with wisdom and speaks out words of no hatred but love and unity". "The speech Arman gave out in Khartoum astonished all as it contained messages of hope for better Sudan. This speech, he said, "in its honesty: is from a leader, not a politician".

Arman previously called upon Sudanese people to elect government that will take development to the rural people to avoid coming to towns where they end up in slums as happened in many countries with subsequent deterioration in their living conditions.

He said his government would embark on policies that will favor rural development as part of the SPLM strategy and slog that encourages taking town to people in the rural villages instead of people coming to town.

Araman held last Sunday an important rally in Jebel Aulia, one of Khartoum suburb, where reside many of IPDs from southern Sudan and Darfur region. He called on Sudanese from all parts of the country to join hands to construct a better future for their country.
