The circumstances under which changes were made remain unclear, with
analysts saying it could be an attempt by the leadership to
consolidate its position ahead of the upcoming elections.
Athian Teng Angok, the deputy SPLM chairperson in the state was
removed and replaced with Jel Mangok Jel while the secretary George
Garang Lual was succeeded by Unguec Angui.
The meeting was chaired by the SPLM state chairperson, Gen. Paul
Malong Awan, who also doubles as the army’s chief of general staff.
The current state information minister, Wek Kuc was also removed as
head of information and communications at the secretariat and replaced
with Akec Akeen.
Jok Lual head of political affairs and syndicated organizations was
named deputy secretary general, replacing Uguec who has been promoted
to the position of secretary general while Kuac Wek Wol, formerly the
state minister for education was named the ruling party’s head of
political affairs and syndicated organisations.
Wol is one of the four MPs reinstated last week after losing party
membership in 2012 allegedly over misconduct and indiscipline.
