The CPT was established under the April 3, 2024 transitional framework with a mandate explicitly set to expire on February 7, 2026, aligned with Haiti's constitutional tradition that presidential terms end on this date. The current dialogue represents the council's primary mechanism for negotiating its own succession or extension, but faces competing legitimacy claims from civil society proposals including the Montana Accord's Conference of Stakeholders model, COPPOS's reformed transition with reduced CPT, and the 70-plus party alliance's new transition framework that excludes the current council entirely.
