The Vice President for the Economic Cluster, Prof. James Wani Igga, has encouraged women across the country to actively participate in the December general elections.
“I encourage our mothers, and our sisters, and daughters, to
vote fully,” Igga made the remarks on Monday in Juba during the launch of a
nationwide civic and voter education campaign.
“Our women must have more rights in these elections than any
other time.”
Igga said women have long been marginalized and pledged to
increase their participation and representation.
“They have suffered being in a secondary position. But our
government will put our women in the forefront,” he added.
South Sudan has delayed its first elections several times since independence in 2011. The elections are now planned for December 22, 2026.
