The publication in Le Moniteur of the electoral decree deemed unconstitutional by the Electoral Council, and the appointment of Uder Antoine by the executive as director general of the electoral institution, have only worsened the situation. It is in this toxic context between the two entities that the PEC requests a meeting with the Prime Minister&#8217;s office\u2026. &#8220;Mr. Prime Minister, On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, around eight o&#8217;clock in the evening, I received a call from the Secretary General of the Prime Minister&#8217;s office informing me of your decision to appoint, on Friday, June 5, 2026, a Director General to the Provisional Electoral Council (PEC). In view of the principle of institutional independence, the PEC has always opposed the appointment and installation of a Director Generalboth before the former Presidential Transition Council (CPT) and before you,\u201d writes the president of the CEP in this correspondence addressed to the Prime Minister&#8217;s office.Jacques Desrosiers emphasizes to the Prime Minister that &#8220;this deep disagreement is about to plunge the country even further into crisis. It is therefore the responsibility of the CEP and the government to work in order to prevent the country from sinking further. The Provisional Electoral Council believes that it is still possible. To this end, on behalf of the Provisional Electoral Council, I request a meeting between the CEP and you to discuss our points of disagreement.&#8221; &#8220;Through this initiative, I want to prevent any confrontation between the CEP and the government that would be of no benefit to the Nation,&#8221; said the president of the Electoral Council, hoping that a swift and positive response will be given to his request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the meeting on June 2 between the Prime Minister and the members of the Provisional Electoral Council, relations have been, to say the least, tense between the government and&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4648,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAow67bgCw:productID":"","_angie_page":false,"content-type":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_ayudawp_aiss_exclude":false,"_ayudawp_aiss_summary":"","_ayudawp_aiss_summary_provider":"","_ayudawp_aiss_summary_hash":"","page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"coauthors":[57],"class_list":["post-4647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4647"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4647\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4649,"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4647\/revisions\/4649"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4647"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/times509.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=4647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
