SPLM-IO Appoints Interim Leadership Amid Detention of Dr. Riek Machar

Juba, South Sudan – April 9, 2025

In a major political development, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-In Opposition (SPLM-IO) National Liberation Council has appointed Peace-building Minister Stephen Par Kuol as the party’s interim Chairperson, pending the release of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar.

The decision was announced following an extraordinary council meeting aimed at ensuring continuity in the party's leadership during Machar’s absence. Minister Kuol will be deputized by Federal Affairs Minister Losuba Wongo, who will assist in steering the party through this transitional period.

In addition to the interim appointments, Agok Makur was named as the new Secretary General of the SPLM-IO, a move expected to bolster the party’s organizational framework.

The SPLM-IO leadership reiterated its commitment to the ongoing peace process and urged calm among its supporters. No official statement has been made yet on the circumstances or duration of Dr. Machar’s detention.

This reshuffle marks a critical moment for the SPLM-IO as it navigates internal challenges and continues to play a central role in South Sudan’s transitional government.
