South Sudan's first election still faces major hurdles
Original: Why South Sudan's path to its first election remains uncertain
South Sudan is scheduled to hold its first-ever national election in December 2026, but the path remains deeply uncertain. Key provisions of the 2018 peace agreement between President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar are unfulfilled, including integrating forces, drafting a permanent constitution and completing a census. Analysts warn that delays, funding shortfalls and renewed political tensions could push the vote back again or trigger instability.
Why now: The scheduled election date is approaching while peace deal milestones remain unmet, raising fears of renewed conflict.
