"Now that it is time to implement the promises to different colleagues, things have become difficult particularly that others have now turned down the offer", the source disclosed. Among the possible candidates is the current speaker of the parliament, James Wani Igga, former head of the National Congress Party (NCP) in South Sudan, Riek Gai Kok, former minister of Justice, John Luk Jok and the current chief of general staff, James Hoth Mai. While Igga is reportedly willing to the take over the seat of the vice president, Jok and Mai were said to have turned down the offer. Kok is also rumoured to have changed his mind in the last 48 hours by also turning down the offer to take over the position. Many in the consultative meetings also rejected Igga as the next vice-president, accusing him of weakness and lack of seriousness as a leader. In normal circumstances, the president should first appoint his deputy who will in turn consult with him on the formation of the cabinet. It is reported that many people have been waiting for the appointment of the vice-president or formation of the government before they could express their reactions.
