A senior party leader critical of Kiir’s style of leadership has told Sudan Tribune that the SPLM chairman was allegedly hoping for a split within the party that would detach him from his rivals, such as Machar, Amum, Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior, Deng Alor, Kosti Manibe, and the rest of his critics. He argued that the delays by the party chairman to call for the meetings are “tactics aimed to frustrate the other colleagues, hoping they may decide to break away”, an option, he said, was not forthcoming. The anonymous party leader further said Kiir’s action was “pushing the nation toward unnecessary tribalism”. He alleged that the South Sudan leader has got no tangible support among the current members of the PB and NLC, adding that the situation had forced him to simply delay the meetings at the expense of the democratic political processes. Kiir and his inner circles, the source said, were now planning to form a special party taskforce which they nicknamed ‘Koc Beny’ in Dinka language, which literally translates ‘Help the President.’ This taskforce in the making, he said, is tribally driven and an act outside the formal institutional structures of the party.
