Six South Sudanese opposition political organisations have announced a coalition to counter the dominance of President Salva Kiir’s ruling party, the SPLM, ahead of the 2024 elections. That is, if elections will happen at all.
The political groups have mimicked Kenya’s opposition alliance 10 years ago, also naming their movement the Coalition for Restoration of Democracy (Cord). Kenya’s Cord was led by opposition doyen Raila Odinga in the 2013 presidential election, which he lost to Uhuru Kenyatta.
