Summary

Nutrition label

83% Informative

A date has been set for a national vote: Dec. 22, 2024 .

The proposed vote follows years of delays: An election was due to take place in 2015 but was postponed after civil war.

Successful elections could elevate South Sudan’s international reputation by demonstrating political maturity and commitment to democracy.

Despite South Sudan’s political and security challenges, immediate steps can facilitate peaceful elections.

Leadership dialogue, expedited funding and enhanced security mechanisms are essential.

If a rumored joint ticket between Kiir and Machar materializes, it could potentially reunite the country and set a course for stability.
