GOVERNMENT AFFIRMS DECEMBER 2026 ELECTIONS

<h1>The Minister of Information, Communication Technology and Postal Services, Hon. Ateny Wek Ateny, who’s the Government Spokesperson, has reaffirmed that December elections will proceed as stated in the Roadmap consensus. Speaking at a Press Conference on Tuesday at the Ministries Complex, the Government Spokesperson dismissed misleading statements suggesting that the Cabinet had passed a resolution to extend the lifespan of the current government, saying no such discussions ever took place. The Minister also stated that the general security situation in the country was relatively calm, except for some pockets of disturbances in Northern Jonglei by anti-peace elements, but the SSPDF remains stationed to prevent further violence in the region.</h1>
