The Transitional Government and the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) are intensifying work on the normative framework to govern the upcoming elections. A working session held this week between CPT members led the Executive to convene, this Friday, November 28, a Government Council dedicated to the accelerated review of the draft electoral decree.
According to an official statement from the Prime Minister's Office, this meeting aims to allow ministers to thoroughly review the text before its adoption, expected during the next Council of Ministers, which could be this Monday, December 1. The stated objective is to quickly finalize the legal instruments essential for organizing elections that are “credible, transparent, and compliant with the institutional requirements of the transition”.
The Government and the CPT affirm that they are working in close coordination to ensure harmonious progress through the different stages of the electoral process, reaffirming their commitment to “the supreme interest of the Nation”.
Furthermore, the Council of Ministers scheduled for this Monday, December 1, 2025, at 2 PM, intends to make major decisions. Aside from the adoption of the draft Electoral Decree, several sensitive issues are on the agenda: a draft Decree governing specific procedures related to public procurement in defense and security; another establishing the organization and functioning of the High Court of Justice; two draft Orders relating, on the one hand, to the application of the National Identification Number (NIN) and, on the other hand, to public procurement thresholds; as well as two Orders aiming to declare a property located in Pétion-Ville and a road section connecting Saint-Raphaël, Dondon, and Carrefour Ménard–Barrière Battant as being of public utility. Additionally, two diplomatic appointments are being considered: Guerda Benoît for Ecuador and Dern Jovens Bonhomme for the Bahamas.
