On this special extended edition of Nationwide, we examine South Sudan’s preparedness for its upcoming elections. The country is scheduled to hold its first post-independence general elections in December 2026, a milestone that will mark the end of the current transitional period. However, the process unfolds amid significant challenges, with the Revitalised Peace Agreement remaining fragile. In this edition, we speak with the Chairperson of the National Elections Commission, Professor Abednego Akok Kacuol, alongside the Commissioner for Voter and Civic Education, Ms Thabo Ajang, to discuss the state of electoral preparedness, key challenges, and the road ahead.
