The dialogue, initially scheduled for September 17, will now take place at 10:00 a.m. at the Main Hall of the Revitalized Transitional National Legislative Assembly in Juba.
In a notice issued on Wednesday, Dr. Martin Elia Lomurö, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Rapporteur of the Inter-Party Dialogue Body, informed political parties and other stakeholders of the change in schedule.
“All the leaders and representatives of the parties signatory to the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan are accordingly informed,” Lomurö said.
The minister also called on embassies, diplomatic missions, and regional and international organizations to take note of the new date.
Faith-based organizations, eminent personalities, civil society organizations, and members of the public were similarly informed of the postponement.
The Inter-Party Political Dialogue is expected to bring together political parties and other stakeholders to discuss issues surrounding the planned December 2026 general elections and efforts to ensure a peaceful and democratic electoral process.
The dialogue is expected to bring together political parties and groups from across the political spectrum, including those outside the 2018 Revitalized Peace Agreement, to build consensus on key electoral and political issues.
Among the issues expected to be discussed are constituency boundaries and representation, independent candidacy, the timing and sequencing of elections, election financing and campaign funding, and security arrangements for candidates, rallies, polling centers, and election materials.
Political parties are also expected to deliberate on political freedoms during the campaign period, including freedom of assembly, movement, and speech, as well as voter registration, voting, counting, and results transmission systems.
