In appointing the two Kenyans, President Ruto said \u201celections in South Sudan are scheduled by December this year and his South Sudanese counterpart had, therefore, requested him to facilitate talks in Nairobi with opposition groups and other sections of society in that country.\u201d<\/p>\n

These include \u201choldout opposition groups organized under the rubric of South Sudan Opposition Alliance, religious groups and civil society.<\/p>\n

President Ruto was cited as saying said he had picked Mr Sumbeiywo as Chief Mediator due to his experience in the South Sudan peace process nearly 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on your wealth of experience and invaluable contribution in negotiating and the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005, I appoint you as the Chief Mediator from April 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025,\u201d Ruto said.<\/p>\n

The talks are meant to achieve \u201cconsensus and peace towards the conduct of the election\u201d.<\/p>\n
