April 23, 2010 (YAMBIO) – Simon Ngbiidigi, the Western Equatoria Secretary General of State High Election Committee (SHEC), and the head of SHEC, has received telephone death threats from anonymous callers, Sudan Tribune has learned.
The threats are reported amidst speculation that relationship between State authorities and SHEC officials has been severely strained since the burning of ballot papers and SHEC stand to maintain its credibility in conducting electoral process in Western Equatoria.
The anonymous phone callers who had threatened Mr. Ngbiidigi Wednesday and Thursday had also mentioned the name of Mr. Sulubia, and had warned that Ngbiidigi would be hanged on a lamp post in Yambio.
All SHEC officials are sleeping outside their residents at night, in fear of being dealt with during odd hours.
"Caretaker governor and SPLM gubernatorial candidate has been mounting pressure on Simon Ngiidigi to change the result in her favor," accused an opposition source.
With all ballot casted votes counted with the exception of Yeri whose ballot papers were burnt, the results still show Col Bangasi Joseph Bakosoro leading by over 4,000 votes (records of party agents).
Due to numerous on death threats, senior SHEC officials and other politicians are reported to be in hiding during night hours.
Since ballot papers’ counting started in WES, police and SPLA forces have been patrolling the streets of Yambio and all its suburbs – under the pretext of securing ballot papers.
Public gatherings in and around Yambio town have been banned, markets closed and clinics.
State owned Radio (Yambio FM) has banned from hosting election related topics, for the last three days, only music is playing in 24 hours, songs that are like critical of government have been banned to play over Yambio FM.
Eyewitness confirmed that, since elections results started to trickle in, all security forces in Yambio have been put at maximum alert, with more deployment.
