President Salva Kiir has dissolved South Sudan's transitional unity government and appointed a caretaker administration, ending the power-sharing pact established under the 2018 peace deal as the country moves toward its first national elections.
Decree Ends Power-Sharing Pact
President Salva Kiir signed a decree on Tuesday that dissolved the transitional unity government and removed all vice-presidents, ministers and local administrators appointed under the 2018 peace agreement. The national and state assemblies were also dissolved, while the judiciary and security institutions remain in place. Kiir will stay in office during the election period until a new president is elected.
The decree followed parliamentary approval of amendments to the National Elections Act that permitted Kiir to retain power throughout the election cycle. This legal change means South Sudan can proceed toward elections scheduled for December 22 without first finalising a permanent constitution or conducting a national census, two tasks previously linked to the transition process.
Opposition and Analysts Warn of Unchecked Power
The main opposition alliance has rejected the changes, while Amnesty International described the decree as a decisive step toward elections but urged authorities to ensure a conducive environment for voters. Michael Wani, a lawyer and former constitution drafting committee member, told AFP that Kiir will be the only person in power without vice-presidents, the executive or parliament.
Independent analyst Machot Amuom told AFP there is significant ambiguity in the legal changes, noting the new law gives the president full powers and the ability to delay elections for another year or two. Last week, Kiir replaced the head of the elections commission without explanation, and the opposition alliance remains critical of the move.
Security Tightens as Rival Remains Under Arrest
The political transition is unfolding under tight security, with AFP reporting checkpoints and road closures around the government complex in the capital, Juba, while security personnel were ordered to remain on heightened alert for three days. Kiir's longtime rival Riek Machar, who leads the opposition Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition, remains under house arrest on trial for charges including treason and murder, which he denies.
Elections were initially expected in 2022 but have been postponed twice, with the 2018 peace deal following five years of civil war that killed about 400,000 people and displaced millions. Gabriel Bol Deng Majok has been named as the new chief of the elections commission with a fresh mandate to oversee preparations for the polls.
