Presidential advisor Emmanuel Vertilaire welcomes the arrival, this Friday, March 7, 2025, of Fritz Alphonse Jean, at the helm of the Transitional Council (CPT).

The CPT's justice portfolio holder sets certain safeguards for the new Council President who, he emphasizes, « is not a President of the Republic but that of the Presidential Council. The function of President is managed collegially in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of the Decree establishing the CPT, which states: The Presidential Transitional Council exercises specific presidential powers of the Presidency during the Transition period. »

Based on the fundamental principle of collegiality governing the Council, Me Vertilaire reminds that any document signed without the approval of the other members of the Council will be null and void.

Wishing to remain faithful to the spirit and letter of the founding decree of the CPT and the one determining the organization and operating mode of the said Council, the advisors finally promise the stability of the Transition and the legitimacy of the decisions taken.
