Does the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) intend to go beyond February 6, 2026? No! replies the Secretary of State for Communication, Bendgy Tilias, who rejects information suggesting that the CPT, via CARICOM, requested a two-year extension of its mandate.
As proof, Tilias cites various initiatives taken by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, with the aim of galvanizing stakeholders on the electoral question, in order to restore security as quickly as possible, an essential and indispensable condition for organizing the constitutional referendum and elections.
Indeed, in the middle of the week, an online media outlet had published an article indicating that the CPT was seeking to obtain a mandate extension until February 7, 2028. Already, while on a mission in the Great North, the President of the Council, Fritz Alphonse Jean, had rejected this article, which was circulating on social media.
Speaking on Radio Kiskeya, the Secretary of State for Communication, Bendgy Tilias, urged people not to give in to any maneuver aimed at destabilizing the country in a context of abundant manipulation.
