Meet Deng Deng Akuei, popularly known as Deng Manyuom, a South Sudanese politician and candidate for the position of Governor of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State in the general elections scheduled for 22 December 2026. The National Elections Commission has confirmed 22 December 2026 as the scheduled polling date for the country’s general elections.

Deng Deng Akuei has a long record of public service at both state and national levels. He served as Governor of the former Aweil East State from 2015 to 2020, becoming the state’s first governor following the creation of the 28 states. During his tenure, he oversaw the administration of the state and dealt with governance and community-related issues affecting the area.

Before becoming Governor of Aweil East State, Deng served as Deputy Governor of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State during the tenure of the late Governor Akot Deng Akot. His experience in the state executive provided him with an earlier role in regional administration before he assumed the governorship of Aweil East State.

Deng also served as State Minister of Agriculture, where his responsibilities included matters related to agriculture and livelihoods. He later served as a member of the state parliament before relinquishing his membership to his then political competitor, Mario Anguei Lual.

At the national level, Deng has also been involved in matters concerning Abyei, serving as a member of the national committee on Abyei issues. His public service has therefore included roles spanning state executive leadership, agriculture, legislative affairs and national-level engagement.

Deng began his education in the 1970s and went on to build a career in public administration and politics.

As the country prepares for the 22 December 2026 general elections, Deng Deng Akuei, also known as Deng Manyuom, is seeking the position of Governor of Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, bringing with him previous experience as a deputy governor, governor, minister and legislator.

MTN network off air in Peth Lou and Malualbaai

The MTN network has been off air in Peth Lou and Malualbaai areas of Aweil East County for almost a week, according to mobile phone users who spoke to Voice News.

Residents say the network disruption has affected their daily lives, particularly business transactions and communication with relatives and friends.

“It is hard now to connect with friends, relatives or family in Juba and other parts of the world. This makes it hard to receive or send money to loved ones,” Samuel Bol Deng, a resident, explained.

“If someone is sick and in need of money from loved ones in faraway places like Juba or other major towns, it is hard,” Regina Amel stressed.

Users say they are getting limited network services from neighboring Warrap state, Gogrial West county.

The cause of the network disruption remains unclear. Efforts by Voice News to reach MTN and county authorities for comment were unsuccessful.
