HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Transitional Presidential Council was established on April 3 2024 through the April 3 Political
Agreement with a constitutional mandate expiring February 7 2026. CPT members took an oath
on April 25 2024 promising to respect the transitional timeline and organize elections within the
mandate period. The December 25 CEP calendar revision represents the fourth major electoral
deadline failure since the CPT's establishment, following missed commitments for voter
registration launch in June 2024, constitutional referendum in September 2024, and candidate list
publication on December 22 2025.
