南苏丹全国选举再推迟:国家选举委员会新时间表定2027年2月11日投票,原定12月22日

南苏丹国家选举委员会11月14日发布的新时间表显示,该国全国选举推迟至2027年2月11日举行。这是南苏丹自2011年独立以来首次全国选举的又一次延期,委员会未说明推迟理由。
总统与议会选举原定于今年12月22日举行。委员会在一份声明中说,推迟是为选举所需的准备工作留出更多时间。
国家选举委员会委员兼发言人 Josephine Achiro Fortelo 周六向路透社证实选举日期已经更改。她说,这是委员会与各利益相关方充分协商后制定的时间表。
南苏丹自2011年7月脱离苏丹独立以来从未举行过全国选举。2018年的一项协议结束了持续五年的冲突,冲突造成数十万人死亡,但不同族群间的暴力仍频繁爆发。
今年9月,联合国南苏丹人权委员会表示,该国缺乏举行和平、可信选举的保障与条件。
按新时间表,竞选期等后续安排将随投票日顺延。选举能否如期在2027年2月举行,仍取决于筹备进展。

South Sudan Delays National Election to February 11, 2027, Election Commission Timetable Shows
South Sudan has pushed back its national elections to February 11, 2027, according to a timetable issued by the country's National Elections Commission, in another delay to its first election since independence in 2011. No reason was given for the postponement.
Presidential and parliamentary elections were scheduled for December 22. In a statement, the commission said the postponement was intended to provide additional time for necessary preparations for the elections.
Josephine Achiro Fortelo, commissioner of the National Election Commission and its spokesperson, told Reuters on Saturday, confirming the electoral date had been changed. She said the timeline had been drawn up after thorough consultation with stakeholders.
South Sudan has not held a national election since gaining independence from Sudan in July 2011. The country has been formally at peace since a 2018 deal ended a five-year conflict responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, but violence between rival communities flares frequently.
In September, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan said the country lacked safeguards and conditions for peaceful and credible elections.
Under the revised timetable, the campaign period and other steps will shift with the new polling date. Whether the vote takes place in February 2027 will depend on the progress of preparations.
