Produces No Governance Framework With 17 Days Remaining January 21 2026 marks seventeen days until the February 7 Transitional Presidential Council mandate expiration with the CPT having concluded its three-day national political dialogue on January 20 without announcing any specific consensus governance frameworks or next steps for the post-February 7 transition despite having consulted all major political forces including MORN Consensus Politique coalition COPPOS-Haiti KOREPAD Montana Accord and December 21 Accord representatives over seventy-two hours of intensive consultations. The CPT official statement confirmed the council concluded the third and final day of national dialogue on but provided no details on outcomes agreements or selected frameworks leaving Haiti with exactly seventeen days until mandate expiration and no publicly announced governance plan. January 21, 2026 COPPOS-Haiti spokesperson Diego Pierre confirmed the coalition submitted a formal proposal to the CPT recommending governance restructuring through a bicephalous executive structure consisting of both President and Prime Minister the appointment of a new Prime Minister replacing current PM Garry Conille and the establishment of a consultative organ charged with supervising constitutional revisions. However the CPT stated it will have to examine the multiple proposals submitted by different stakeholder groups to reach a final resolution before February 7 confirming that no consensus was achieved during the three-day dialogue and that the CPT must now conduct internal deliberations to select or synthesize competing frameworks within the seventeen-day remaining window. Le National reported that less than two weeks from the end of its mandate the CPT has not succeeded in bringing together all political forces despite the intensive three-day consultation process. This assessment contradicts the CPT optimistic language during the dialogue about quality exchanges and pertinent proposals and confirms the dialogue failed to produce substantive consensus. With January 21 and January 22 representing the absolute final opportunity for the CPT to announce a selected governance framework that would allow even marginally adequate implementation over sixteen to fifteen remaining days any delays beyond would create fourteen-day or shorter windows making proper decree drafting stakeholder consultation CPT approval Le Moniteur publication and public rollout operationally impossible. The alternative scenarios are rushed implementation with high procedural failure risk unilateral CPT mandate extension triggering 70 plus Party Alliance and civil society opposition mobilization or institutional vacuum on February 7 with no agreed successor and competing legitimacy claims. The multiple competing proposals now requiring CPT examination include the COPPOS bicephalous executive model the Montana Accord Conference of Stakeholders framework submitted December 21 2025 calling for collective CPT and PM resignation the 70 plus Party Alliance proposal from January 14 2026 demanding CPT definitive end on February 7 with new one-year transition and fourth quarter 2026 elections and the Civil Society Initiative proposal from January 6 2026 recommending a seventeen-member deliberative assembly with interim President from civil society or high-ranking institutions. The CPT must reconcile these irreconcilable visions reach internal consensus among nine members and implement chosen framework within seventeen days a timeline that requires examination three to five days internal CPT decision-making two to three days decree drafting three to five days stakeholder consultations two to three days CPT approval one to two days Le Moniteur publication and three to five days public rollout totaling minimum fourteen to twenty-two days against seventeen-day actual window.
