President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has called for peaceful elections in South Sudan if the country is to gain lasting peace.
In press release by the Presidential Press Unit, Museveni made the call yesterday(08th.June.2022) while meeting the Speaker of Parliament of South Sudan, Jemma Nunu Kemba at State House Entebbe.
For almost eight years, South Sudan has been embroiled in a vicious war caused by the jostling for political supremacy between President Salva Kiir and his current first vice president Riek Machar.
Ever since the country gained independence in 2011, it has never held presidential elections partly due to the ongoing war. Jemma Nunu Kemba assured President Museveni that South Sudan is at peace but will keep consulting partners on how to maintain it. END
