On the Roundtable this week, Sani Martin was posing questions and guiding discourse on the preparedness of South Sudan political parties for elections planned for December 2024.
The peace agreement under the roadmap provides that critical tasks such as making of a permanent constitution, restructuring and reconstitution of the National Elections Commission for the electoral and post elections processes as well as the Political Parties Council – should all be in place.
So how prepared are the parties ready to front their candidates – just 17 months before the planned elections?
The panelists were:
- Bol Makueng, SPLM party Secretary for External Relations
- Oyet Nathaniel Pierino, Deputy chairman of the SPLM-IO party, also Deputy Speaker of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly
- Gabriel Changson Chan, from the SSOA party and National Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology
- Edmund Yakani, Executive Director, Community Empowerment for Progress Organization
