Former Central Equatoria State Governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony has unveiled a five-point agenda aimed at strengthening the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), expanding its membership and empowering key groups if re-elected as the party’s state chairperson.
Presenting his programme named the “Big Five,” Adil said it followed calls from party members across the state’s six counties for him to seek another leadership mandate through the ongoing internal party democratic process.
“We believe in one people, one party, and one vision,” Adil said, outlining his commitment to uniting SPLM members ahead of the December 2026 general elections.
The aspiring candidate for governorship emphasized that his first priority focuses on mass mobilization and electoral preparedness, while the second seeks to expand party membership and strengthen grassroots structures across the state.
The third agenda aims to improve political education and leadership development through existing party programmes, including strengthening the political school in Morobo, Kajo-Keji County, and establishing training centre for women and youth.
On resource mobilization, the fourth priority, Adil pledged to strengthen the party’s financial and logistical capacity, including reviving agricultural initiatives and completing or rehabilitating party infrastructure.
“We will mobilize adequate resources from our supporters, our friends, and our population,” he said.
The fifth pillar focuses on empowering women, youth, veterans and persons with disabilities through greater participation in party leadership and decision-making.
Adil cited the SPLM’s 35 per cent representation policy for women and 20 per cent for youth, pledging to promote equal opportunities across party structures.
He clarified that the Big Five is an internal party programme, not a government policy, saying a comprehensive governance agenda for Central Equatoria would be presented after the primaries and congresses.
He also urged contestants and delegates to reject hate speech, intimidation and misinformation during the political process.
