Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The leader of the Other Political Parties group (OPP), Kornelo Kon Ngu, urged citizens on Wednesday to prepare to vote in the December 2024 elections.<\/p>\n

Kon made the remarks after meeting with President Salva Kiir Mayardit in Juba.<\/p>\n

\u201cOPP supports the conduct of elections in December 2024 to allow the people of South Sudan to choose their leaders in a free democratic process,\u201d Kon said.<\/p>\n

The opposition leader called on citizens to prepare for the first-ever general elections.<\/p>\n

President Salva Kiir has said South Sudan\u2019s long-delayed elections will happen in 2024 with him on the ballot for the ruling Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement party.<\/p>\n

Kiir, president since South Sudan\u2019s independence from Sudan in 2011, accepted his party\u2019s endorsement at a rally in Wau, Western Bahr el Ghazal, in July 2023.<\/p>\n

However, the leader of the main armed opposition group SPLM-IO Riek Machar has requested a 24-month extension of the country\u2019s transitional period to complete tasks necessary for elections.<\/p>\n

The election would be the first national vote ever held in South Sudan.<\/p>\n
