More than sixty political parties and organizations have united to call for a clear break with the current Transitional Presidential Council. Their proposal outlines an immediate shift in political direction and a revised calendar to move the country out of political deadlock.
The coalition — which includes Pitit Desalin, EDE, and KID — presented a document titled “Political Consensus for National Recovery.” It states that no extension of the CPT’s mandate is acceptable beyond February 7, 2026, when the signatories believe its tenure must end definitively.
The parties argue that a fully reorganized transition is necessary to restore public order and allow the state to function. They propose a two-headed executive: a transitional president chosen from impartial personalities, supported by a prime minister leading a technical government with broad consensus.
Their plan includes a transitional presidential term running until February 7, 2027, without extension, while the transition itself would last exactly one year from February 2026. Priorities include regaining territorial control, neutralizing armed groups, and ensuring close coordination with national and international security institutions.
Elections are scheduled for the last quarter of 2026, monitored by an independent National Follow-Up Committee responsible for supervising public administration, evaluating security progress, and ensuring full compliance with the timeline.
