Facing the end of the mandate of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), the political movement Renmen Ayiti submits a crisis resolution proposal aimed at avoiding chaos and ensuring a democratic and stable future for the nation.
In an official document dated July 4, 2025, the Renmen Ayiti movement, led by Me Jean Henry Céant, presented a crisis resolution proposal in response to uncertainties surrounding the end of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT)'s mandate, scheduled for February 7, 2026. This plan aims to rectify the transition process and establish peaceful governance in a context where the CPT has failed to meet major expectations regarding security and electoral preparation.
Renmen Ayiti notes that the CPT has failed in its commitments, particularly the organization of an inclusive national conference, the establishment of a reliable electoral framework, and the restoration of security in the country. According to the movement, the current situation requires leaders to publicly acknowledge this failure and make an open call to other political actors not represented within the CPT to establish a national understanding.
The proposal revolves around the signing of a Global Societal Political Agreement before August 30, 2025. This agreement would notably include:
-The creation of an oversight and validation body for Executive actions, ensuring transparency and accountability.
-The establishment of new transitional governance for a period of one year, from February 7, 2026, to February 7, 2027.
-The development of a national security strategy to sustainably restore public order with the involvement of the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the Haitian Armed Forces (FADH).
-The convening of a Constituent Assembly to draft a new Constitution to be submitted to a referendum before the end of the CPT's mandate.
-The definition of an electoral calendar leading to democratic elections scheduled for the last Sunday of October 2026.
-The adoption of a national rescue plan and an economic and social roadmap. To ensure the effectiveness of these measures, Renmen Ayiti insists on the swift publication of the Agreement and its monitoring bodies in the official gazette Le Moniteur. In conclusion, Me Céant calls on the members of the CPT to « fully grasp the scope of their historical responsibilities » and to act with dignity to preserve the Nation's supreme interest. Renmen Ayiti firmly believes that a sincere, inclusive, and legally framed approach remains the only way to steer Haiti away from the precipice and usher in a new era founded on security, democracy, and institutional stability.
