RDNP spokesman Wadner Edouard
Port-au-Prince, January 26, 2026.- In the run-up to February 7, 2026, the key date of the political transition, the Rassemblement des démocrates nationales progressives (RDNP) believes that the Prime Minister and his government cannot be an option for post-transition. His spokesman, Wadner Édouard, denounced the impasse in the Transitional Presidential Council (TPC) and called for an urgent political dialogue to define a new governance framework.
The Prime Minister and his government cannot embody a viable political solution after February 7, 2026," said Wadner Édouard, a cadre of the Rassemblement des Démocrates Nationales Progressives (RDNP). According to him, the head of government is a direct emanation of the Transitional Presidential Council (TPC), whose term of office expires on that date.
« The termination of the CPT's mandate automatically results in the resignation of the Prime Minister »Mr. Édouard analysed the case for the immediate opening of a political dialogue to define the form of governance to be adopted and to conclude a new political agreement for an interim transition.
However, in order to avoid an institutional vacuum at the head of state, the RDNP and its allies propose that the current government temporarily manage day-to-day affairs, pending wider political consensus.
Speaker Monday, January 26, 2026 on the Magik Panel on Magik9, Wadner Édouard also strongly criticized internal divisions within the CPT. According to him, the observed arm of iron reveals the « real face » actors in this structure supposed to lead the transition.
He denounced what he described as "« irresponsible attitude » on the eve of 7 February, considering that the end of the crisis should have been an inclusive dialogue. « It is with difficulty that we see this mediocrity at the highest level of the state. », he regretted.
Wadner Édouard also flouted the blocking of the Prime Minister's dismissal, which was supported by a majority in the CPT. « This decision has not been implemented because the actors are each attached to interest groups. »he declared, « cynics » members of the Transitional Presidential Council.
For the RDNP, this situation creates a worrying precedent and exacerbates the governance crisis, as the country approaches a decisive political deadline.
