JUBA – South Sudan government has dismissed in a statement assertions that President Salva Kiir Mayardit has no legitimacy to continue in power after US-based activist Peter Biar Ajak said the South Sudanese head of state is clinging to power against the will of the people.

Speaking before US Senate Foreign Relations Committee earlier this month, Ajak who fled the country last year after reporting threats by the country’s National Security Service said “Despite the severe repression in the country, our people made this unequivocally clear in the recently concluded South Sudan National Dialogue, demanding that Kiir and Machar urgently find an exit route from the political scene.”

In respond, Nhial dismissed the assertion by Biar saying President Kiir was popularly elected during the 2010 elections and the country could not hold elections in the wake of the December 2013 outbreak of war which displaced more than half of the country’s population.

“When President Kiir was elected in 2010 as the President of the Government of Southern Sudan, those who cast their ballots for him are the very same South Sudanese who would have done so again had elections been held in 2015,” Nhial said Tuesday in a statement seen by Sudans Post.

“Therefore President Kiir’s right to lead South Sudan, at least till the next elections determine the post-transition power architecture, is undiminished,” Nhial added.

The minister, a senior member of the country’s ruling party (SPLM), said the government of President Kiir is committed to the implementation of the revitalized peace deal.

He argued that calls for elections in 2022 were not justifiable given that formation of the Transitional Government of National Unity in 2018 took longer than expected, hence the need to compensate for time lost during that period

“Premature elections cannot reflect the true will of the electorate and would consequently amount to an act of practical disenfranchisement, a travesty of political justice and a recipe for disaster,” said Nhial.

    “Gov’t says Kiir is in power with citizens’ consent”

    Of course he is. Foreign busy-buddies, traitors of foreign puppets/stooges like Mr. Peter Biar Ajak who think South Sudan’s current government is going to be changed by foreign powers like their West African, Central African, Southern African, Middle Eastern, some of Asian, Eastern European countries, Caribbeans and some of their Latin American countries the vermins/parasites often regime change their elected governments like they changing their undies and then replace them with their ‘puppets/stooges, traitors and thieves’. Whom they often go and micromanaged them in *Washington, Nairobi, Adis Ababa, Johannesburg, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Wall street, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman islands and other shady countries* But the vermins/parasites are playing with fire. With their so-called *AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION* being their bunch of fools *foreign powers, secret societies, foreign puppets/stooges and thieves*

    Being propagated by the likes of Mr. Paul Kagame, former president of South Africa, Mr. Thabo Mbeki, former president of Tanzania, Mr. Jakaya Kikwete, cureent president of Kenya, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta, his rival, Mr. Raila Odinga, a piece of creep who brags that he is the only CIA gent in Africa, current so-called prime minister of Abesh (so-called ethiopia) prostitute Mr. Abiy Ahmed, his predecessor, Mr. Hailemariam Desalegn, former president of Nigeria, Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo, Mr. Barack Hussien Obama, Mr. a slit-eyed piece of trash, Mr. Ms. Susan Rice, Susan Paige, Malik Agaar, Yarsir Arman, Benjamin Netanyahu, Mr. Hamdock and some of their vernmins/parasites in between who thought, they can always geopolitical chess game or football play our country or every ten (10) years and hope, that they can ‘re-unite our country and our people’ and then go and brag that their so-called *Western civilization or their so-called AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION has prevailed, and then go and get away with it some these days.

    That is not going to happen under the sun or even in million years. The vermins/parasites are going to be WIPED OUT of this planet earth, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
