South Sudan President, Salva Kiir has signed into law the amendments to the country's election law. The reforms remove requirements that linked elections to the completion of a permanent constitution and a national census. The president also dissolved the transitional government. South Sudan is headed to the polls scheduled for December 22 this year. Opposition parties had rejected amendments to the electoral process. President Kiir says the decision to dissolve the transitional government that was established under a 2018 peace deal, paves the way to elections. Under the amended law signed in yesterday (Tuesday), the incumbent executive leadership remains in office with full constitutional powers until a newly elected president takes office. We spoke to Jame David Kolok, a South Sudanese activist and Human Rights Lawyer
