SPLM-IO Suffers Blow as Senior MP Defects to SPLM With 1,500 Troops

-


A prominent member of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO) has crossed over to the ruling SPLM party, bringing with him a significant number of forces.

‎

‎Santino Upiu Madhieu, a Member of Parliament in the Council of States representing Western Bahr el Ghazal, announced his defection on Tuesday in Rooc Rooc Dong Payam, Jur River County.

‎

‎Madhieu, who also serves as Chairperson of the Council’s Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management Committee, was received alongside five Major Generals and approximately 1,583 forces. 

‎

The group includes senior officers such as Maj. Santino Ubong Bol and Maj. Gen. Lino Uraya.

‎

‎His defection is seen as a political and military boost for the SPLM in Western Bahr el Ghazal ahead of the much-anticipated elections. 

‎

It also underscores the growing pressure within SPLM-IO ranks, which has faced internal challenges and recent waves of defections.

‎

‎Local leaders and SPLM officials in Jur River County welcomed the move, describing it as a “step toward unity and stability.”

‎

‎Madhieu has not yet given a detailed statement on the reasons for his defection, but sources close to him say he cited “the need for peace, development, and alignment with the ruling party’s national agenda.”

‎

‎The SPLM-IO has not officially commented on the defection.
