South Sudan’s parties to the 2018 peace agreement have extended the current transitional period by another two years.
The decision was reached during a meeting President Salva Kiir held with his deputies, cabinet members and advisors in the capital, Juba on Friday.
The extension implies the country’s first post-independence election initially scheduled for December 22, 2024 will not take place.
The Cabinet Affairs minister, Martin Elia Lomuro said the transition period extension is an opportunity to implement the remaining key provisions in the peace agreement.
“The extension is in response to the recommendations from the electoral institutions and the security sector. It is an opportunity to implement the pending issues in the peace deal’” he said.
This development has fulfilled the prophecies of Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church which he shared at different times regarding the presidential election.
The prophet in September 2023 stated in a video that the date for the election will be changed due to insecurity in the country. He made it known that the election will not see the light of the day and will be destabilized.
These were his words:
‘’South Sudan election: the date for the election will be changed, the election isn’t realistic, mark my words because of insecurity in the country. If you go ahead, the election will not see the light of the day and it will be destabilized. The moment you have a shift in the election, the international community will begin to put pressure on South Sudan and if you go ahead with the election, rebels are ready to cause imminent danger, the date isn’t realistic.’’
In another video published in February 2024, Primate Ayodele made it known that there will be confusion in the country regarding the presidential election.
