Office: Former Governor of Northern Bahr el state

Kuel Aguer Kuel (born 1 January 1958) is a South Sudanese politician who came from a cattle—keeping and farming family in Ariath Village in Aweil North County. He also served as the caretaker governor of Northern Bahr el Ghazal in 2013.

Education background

He joined Ariath Primary School in 1970 and Aweil Intermediate in 1977. In 1980, he joined Antop Secondary School in Medani at the South of Khartoum, Gezira state in order to pursue secondary education.

Kuel then joined the University of Juba in the College of Economics and Social Studies, specialising in Public Administration and management, and graduated in 1987.

Years later, Kuel gained a postgraduate diploma in Public Administration from Birmingham University, in the United Kingdom.

Political career

Kuel Aguer was a political ally of the then governor of Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Paul Malong during the 2010 election when Dau Aturjong challenged Paul Malong.

He stood firmly with Malong during the 2012 controversy over the dismissal of six state Parliament members on the allegations that they were collaborating with members of other parties against SPLM's activities. H. E Salva kiir appointed Kuel Aguer to one of delegates who are signing Nairobi people talks.

Prison

He was detained for 17 months by National security security after being alleged of treason.

The high Court found out that Kuel Aguer Kuel wanted to overthrow the government since he is the senior member of the people's coalition for civil action ( PCCA).
