 South Sudan's president signs election law changes ahead of December vote


South Sudan President Salva Kiir signed amendments to the country's election law late on Monday, removing requirements that linked elections to the completion of a permanent constitution and a national census, changes that were rejected by the main opposition coalition.


The amendments ‌are intended to clear the way for general elections scheduled for December 22, which would be South Sudan's first since independence in 2011.


The South Sudan Opposition Alliance, a coalition of opposition parties and a signatory to ​the 2018 peace agreement, rejected the changes, saying they were made without adequate consultation ​among the agreement's parties, Reuters reported.


Kiir's longtime rival Riek Machar, who leads the main opposition SPLM-IO, ⁠has been under house arrest since March 2025 and is on trial on charges including ​treason and murder, which he denies.


Last week, the president replaced the head of the elections commission without ​giving any reason.


Under the amended law, the incumbent executive leadership remains in office with ‌full ⁠constitutional powers through the election period until a newly elected president assumes office, while the legislation also provides for the first vice president and other vice presidents to leave office within three months before election day.


The law reduces the National Legislative Assembly to 270 members from 650. State ​assemblies will have 58 ​members, down from ⁠100, while legislative councils in administrative areas will have 20 members.


Parliament passed the bill earlier on Monday before it was sent to Kiir for ​assent, as South Sudan enters a critical phase of election preparations, although ​voter registration ⁠has not begun.
