Machar had “successfully relocated” to a “neighbouring country,” James Gatdet said on Facebook, without naming the country in question.
South Sudanese presidential spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny said he was not aware of Machar having left the country.
A power struggle between President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Machar evolved into a military conflict in December 2013, killing tens of thousands and displacing more than 2 million people.
The two men signed a peace agreement a year ago and formed a unity government in April, with Machar reinstated as vice president.
But renewed fighting erupted in July, killing hundreds of people and forcing Machar’s troops out of Juba.
Kiir then sacked him from the post of vice president, dealing a new blow to hopes of peace.
