JUBA – A prominent member of South Sudan’s opposition SPLM-IO faction has expressed doubts about the possibility of holding elections in December 2024 as scheduled, citing lack of implementation of key provisions of the revitalized peace agreement and the need for a credible constitution.

Dut Majokdit, a member of the SPLM-IO National Liberation Council and Chairperson of Relief and Rehabilitation in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, made the remarks in an interview with Sudans Post on Sunday.

“Well, I am sure 100% there will be no election in December 2024,” Majokdit stated.

He highlighted the need for a permanent constitution, a population census, and constituency demarcation as crucial prerequisites for credible elections.

“We cannot go for election without a permanent constitution in the Republic of South Sudan,” Majokdit emphasized. “This permanent constitution would govern the new government that is going to be formed. But this permanent constitution needs two years to be completed.”

Majokdit also pointed out the need for an accurate population census, noting that the 2008 census is outdated.

“You have to know the population of South Sudan,” he said. “And now the population of South Sudan, based on 2008 census, this one is not accurate, so we need the accurate population of our people then we demarcate the constituencies at the states and also at the national level.”

He stressed that constituency demarcation requires time, further emphasizing the need for full implementation of the revitalized peace agreement.

“You cannot go to election, and you don’t know how many constituencies do you have in the country,” Majokdit explained.

“So, this will need more time and that’s why we are saying this peace agreement must be implemented in letter and spirit before we talk about the elections,” he added.
