At a time when a large part of the population claims to be tired of traditional political parties, widely perceived as co-responsible for the progressive decline of Haiti, new modern-oriented formations are trying to emerge on the national political chessboard. Among them are Rasanble, the Patriotic Force for the Renovation of Haiti, and Inisyativ pou Devlope Ayiti (IDA), to name just these three.
On December 27, 2025, in the open setting of the Oasis Hotel in Pétion-Ville, several dozens of members and sympathizers gathered for the official launch of IDA. The party presents itself as a modern political alternative, whose fundamental objective is to promote inclusive national understanding and to effect a controlled break with a political traditionalism deemed simultaneously rigid, concealed, and ineffective.
In a context marked by the proliferation of over three hundred political parties, more than a hundred of which claim a certain visibility despite extremely difficult conditions of existence, IDA's leaders intend to distinguish themselves by the clarity of their vision and the coherence of their approach.
The party leaders drew a bleak, yet uncompromising, assessment of the national situation. According to them, the almost uninterrupted succession of transitional periods has progressively weakened state institutions, undermined public authority, eroded citizen trust, and hindered any sustainable development prospects. This chronic instability, they add, has fostered political improvisation, the personalization of power, and the exclusion of the nation's vital forces.
Faced with this worrying picture, IDA aims to carry a political project based on responsibility, consultation, and sustainable development, placing the general interest above partisan calculations. The party affirms its desire to contribute to the reconstruction of the State, the re-establishment of institutions, and the restoration of national dignity, in a spirit of dialogue, modernity, and sovereignty.
By entering the political arena, Inisyativ pou Devlope Ayiti bets on hope, lucidity, and civic engagement, convinced that the future of Haiti can only be built through a conscious break with past failures and a collective vision resolutely focused on progress. Pierre Josué Agénor Cadet
