The leaders of political parties in South Sudan who want to register with the Political Parties Council (PPC) have rejected the fifty thousand United States dollars provisional fee charge to acquire the license of operation by the leadership of the PPC in South Sudan.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a joint press statement on Monday, March 25, 2024, the political party leaders including\u00a0Lam Akol Ajawin from the South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) said the \u00a0fee of 50,000 US dollars has no justification whatsoever.<\/p>\n

The official termed the charges exorbitant, as \u201can indirect contradiction to the principles of democracy and fair political participation in the forthcoming election in December 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the coalition, the political parties in South Sudan were paying 20,000 SSP for registration before the introduction of these new charges.<\/p>\n

The leaders of political parties promised to stand firm to their rejection over\u00a0 what they see as, \u201cunjust and unreasonable fee\u201d and also call for the immediate publication of the regulations demanded by the Political Parties Act after validation by the political parties.<\/p>\n

The political parties\u2019 leaders quote; Article 7 (7) of the Political Parties Act 2012 (amended 2022) which stipulates that: The Council shall conduct open registration of political parties by regulations issued herein.<\/p>\n

Also, Article 8 (3) of the same Act states that a political party registered under this Act shall pay in respect of the registration such fees, which shall not be refundable, as the Council may by regulations determine.<\/p>\n

The leader of the opposition called on the PPC to reconsider its decision and revert the fee charge to its original amount of SSP 20,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the official registration fee before the appointment of the new leadership. We urge you to prioritize the advancement of democracy and the promotion of a diverse and inclusive political landscape in South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We look forward to your prompt response and a resolution that reflects the best interests of the people of South Sudan.”<\/p>\n

They urge the government to prioritize the advancement of democracy and the Promotion of diversity, the political leaders call on the PPC to reconsider this decision and revert the fee to its earlier amount of SSP 20,000.<\/p>\n
