South Sudan Amends Election Law, Opposition Rejects Changes
Original: South Sudan Amends Election Law Ahead of December Vote, Opposition Rejects Changes
South Sudan has amended its election law ahead of a planned December vote, but opposition parties are rejecting the changes. Critics fear the amendments could alter the rules of the contest in the governing party's favour in a country that has never held a direct presidential election since independence in 2011. Observers warn the dispute could deepen political tensions as the country heads toward the polls.
Why now: The electoral law dispute raises fresh concerns about whether South Sudan's long-delayed December elections can be held credibly.
