South Sudan, under the leadership of President Salva Kiir had announced plans to conduct its first presidential election since independence in 2023. Stakeholders in the country agreed in December 2024 to conduct the election to transition into a democratic nation but it appears none of that would be happening.
Currently, Salva Kiir and stakeholders in the country are holding talks on reaching a final decision regarding the presidential election but at the moment, there has been nothing significant showing preparation for an election slated to happen in the next four months.
A top envoy of the United Nations, Nicholas Haysom told the U.N. Security Council that the consultations make it difficult to treat the election date of Dec. 22 announced last month by the National Elections Commission “as a definitive trigger in isolation from other critical factors.”
Therefore, pending any miraculous turnaround, the prophecy of Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele on the presidential election in South Sudan is on its way to getting fulfilled.
The prophet in September 2023 stated in a video that the date for the election will be changed due to insecurity in the country. He made it known that the election will not see the light of the day and will be destabilized.
These were his words:
‘’South Sudan election: the date for the election will be changed, the election isn’t realistic, mark my words because of insecurity in the country. If you go ahead, the election will not see the light of the day and it will be destabilized. The moment you have a shift in the election, the international community will begin to put pressure on South Sudan and if you go ahead with the election, rebels are ready to cause imminent danger, the date isn’t realistic.’’
In another video published in February 2024, Primate Ayodele made it known that there will be confusion in the country regarding the presidential election.
No doubt, with the direction the election is moving towards, it is safe to say the prophecy of Primate Ayodele is coming to pass.
