PoliticsSouth Sudan’s President Kiir approves constitutional changes

South Sudanese President Salva Kiir has approved amendments removing the requirement for a permanent constitution and national census to be completed before elections. The changes separate the planned Dec. 22, 2026 vote from those processes. The government says they clear the way for elections, though logistical, funding, political and security challenges remain.
