notes: Agreement: On 29 January 2021, President Salva Kiir appointed the Shilluk politician Budhok Ayang Kur as governor of Upper Nile state, presumably with the consent of the SPLM-IO leader. The appointment ends a stand-off which followed from the President's refusal to appoint the IO's controversial nominee, General Johnson Olony. In the days before the appointment, the President also replaced the governor of Warrap state with Aleu Ayieny Aleu (a former Minister of the Interior) without stating a reason, and announced the appointments of several deputy governors.
