Unity State governor rejects claims of defying presidential orders

Unity State’s caretaker government has rejected allegations that Gov. Joseph Manytuil Wejang defied presidential directives, intimidated political actors or obstructed Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) electoral processes amid reported disagreements over party primaries.

In an official statement dated Oct. 28, 2026, Caretaker Minister of Information and Communications Nyakenya Johannes Keah said the allegations were disputed and should not be treated as established facts without credible evidence.

The government said Unity State remained committed to political stability, respect for the rule of law and an orderly electoral process. It also maintained that the SPLM primaries had been conducted successfully, with gubernatorial aspirants and their supporters participating.

The statement strongly disputed claims of intimidation, harassment and deliberate obstruction, urging anyone with evidence to use appropriate channels to seek redress. It also called on media outlets to verify allegations before publication.

The government acknowledged political competition at boma, payam, county and state levels but said disputes should be handled through established party and government institutions.
