ELECTIONS ARE BECOMING REAL: NEC LAUNCHES REGISTRATION BOOK

By Nhomturuk Media | Juba, South Sudan

For months, one question has quietly followed South Sudan’s political conversation: Will the December 22, 2026 elections actually happen?

Many citizens have doubted the possibility, especially after years of postponed electoral timelines and extensions of the transitional period. For some, the announced election date remained another promise whose reality would only become clear when institutions began taking concrete steps.

That moment now appears to be arriving.

The National Elections Commission (NEC) has officially launched the registration book as preparations continue for the 22 December 2026 General Elections.

The development is significant because voter registration is one of the practical foundations of an election. It moves the process beyond political announcements and into the administrative work required to identify and register eligible voters.

The NEC has also been preparing election officials and State High Elections Committees for voter-registration activities across the country. The Commission has said voter registration will be conducted manually, in person and on paper, with information subsequently entered into its systems.

For citizens who have spent years hearing about elections without seeing the process reach this stage, the registration book sends a different message.

The election is becoming tangible.

However, important challenges remain. The country still faces questions surrounding electoral preparedness, political participation, security, civic education, logistics and the implementation of the peace agreement.

The registration process will therefore require transparency, public awareness and accurate information. Citizens will need to know where and when to register, what requirements apply and how the electoral process will work.

The media will also have an important responsibility: reporting verified information and helping citizens distinguish official announcements from rumours.

South Sudan’s political transition has been long and complicated. But as the NEC begins putting the machinery of registration into operation, December 22 is increasingly becoming more than a date on the calendar.

It is becoming a deadline that citizens, political parties and institutions must prepare for.

The question is no longer only whether elections are coming.

The question is whether South Sudanese citizens are ready to participate when the opportunity arrives.

𝗦𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗛 𝗦𝗨𝗗𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗧 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗗𝗦: 𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗗?

As South Sudan enters the final three months ahead of the December elections, security in Juba is on high alert in anticipation of the dissolution of the transitional government says Nhomturuk Media in an exclusive file today Sept 22, 2026 from Juba.

South Sudan People’s Defence Forces spokesperson Maj Gen L*l Ruai Koang said today that security had been heightened as the government was due to be dissolved.

South Sudan Parliament has approved amendments to the National Elections Act, and President Kiir Mayardit has signed it into law within hours of its approval. It instructs how the December polls fit into the timeline for concluding the permanent constitution and taking census. It provides a new framework for the conduct of the elections that are due to take place in December 2026. For South Sudan, it is the end of an era as the country moves from the transitional government to the polls.

The deal known as the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (Rally) established the current system of government in 2018, which created a power-sharing transitional administration. The agreement provided for a period of transition from the start of the polls and the reforms to the national institutions, including the completion of the permanent constitution and census.

The transitional phase has been extended several times since then. However, it seems that the moment of truth is approaching as South Sudan draws close to the day when its government ceases to exist. What will happen on September 22?

The answer lies in the Elections Act. It requires the dissolution of the National Legislative Assembly, the State Legislative Assemblies, and the governments of the States and the Nation within three months of the election declaration. The date of the election has been scheduled for December 22, 2026. Therefore, September 22 is the day that marks the final three-month countdown to the polls.

However, the conflict between the Elections Act and the Rally agreement left many wondering what would happen when the time came to dissolve the government.

The peace deal, which sets out the framework for the transitional administration, must take precedence over the amended Elections Act, according to legal experts. Consequently, the dissolution of the legislative bodies and governments should not be construed as a termination of all other obligations and authorities provided for by the Rally.

According to the amended Elections Act, the President of the Republic shall continue to hold office and exercise his functions until the new President is sworn in after the elections. The First Vice President and the other Presidents of the Republic shall lay down their posts before the end of the three-month period before the elections. This has implications for the powers and functions of the President of the Republic and his deputies in the coming months.

The election clock is ticking

December 22, 2026, will mark South Sudan’s first general elections since independence. The National Elections Commission has set the day as the election date and has been preparing the necessary infrastructure for the polls. However, there are a few issues to consider. The political parties must prepare their campaigns, and the electoral institutions must be ready to conduct the polls. In addition, voters must be registered and educated, voters’ security needs to be guaranteed, and several other factors must be considered in the lead-up to the elections. Meanwhile, the implementation of the peace deal is still a crucial issue in the transition process.

The South Sudan Opposition Alliance accused the government of amending the Elections Act without consulting other Rally stakeholders.

Reuters news agency reports that the alliance alleges that the changes were made unilaterally and without the consensus of all political parties. The next few months will be critical in determining the future of the elections process in South Sudan. They will test whether the country can move from transitional politics to holding credible polls that satisfy the various political interests.

For now, September 22 will be a day to remember for millions of South Sudanese as their country moves to the final phase of the transition process.

Whether it will be a day of celebration depends on how the events of the last three months unfold and whether South Sudan will be able to ensure that the polls are conducted smoothly and that the political transition continues to take place peacefully. South Sudan is entering a pivotal period in its political history.

The transitional government is winding down, the clock is ticking, and the next chapter of the world’s youngest republic is about to begin.

A More Professional Face of South Sudan’s Army Essay

There is a need to boast the current state of South Sudanese army as there has been an improvement in soldiers’ appearance, energy, and professionalism while in uniform which is demonstrative of patriotism and dedication to the country.

However, while the soldiers’ outward appearance reflects professionalism, patriotism, and energy, there is much to be desired in terms of accountability.

A soldier entrusted with fi****ms and the power of the state must be accountable to the state and its lawful authorities.

Every abuse of authority committed by a soldier, policeman, or any other official entrusted with the protection of civilians must be investigated and brought to light. Consequences must be appropriately meted out to those found guilty and regardless of their status or position. Furthermore, soldiers must demonstrate respect for human rights and democratic principles in all they do. By ensuring accountability of its personnel, South Sudan will not only boost patriotism and dedication but also earn the respect of its citizens.

The army should be a pillar of support to the people of South Sudan and not an instrument of oppression and intimidation. It is important that South Sudanese army exudes professionalism, patriotism, and accountability. Soldiers must be honorable and responsible representatives of the state. In short, the uniform should inspire respect while the guns should acknowledge responsibility.
