HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The CPT was established through the April 3 2024 Agreement following the collapse of
governance after President Moise's July 2021 assassination. The council's mandate
was explicitly time-bound to February 7 2026 with electoral preparations as the primary
objective. Article 13 of the agreement prohibits mandate extension. The current crisis
reflects the CPT's failure to organize elections or establish a viable succession
framework despite 22 months in power.
