Port-au-Prince, Haiti – A new political coalition has formed, uniting three prominent groups: the National Congress of Ouanaminthe for a New Haiti, the National Awakening for Haitian Sovereignty, and the FND (Front National pour le Développement). The coalition announced its formation this week, unveiling a bold proposal for a dual leadership transition in Haiti.
The coalition is advocating for a unique governance model, suggesting that the country’s next president be selected from the Court of Cassation, Haiti’s highest judicial authority. This proposal aims to establish a transitional government that prioritizes stability, legitimacy, and accountability during a time of deep political and social crisis.
The coalition’s leaders argue that selecting a president from the Court of Cassation would ensure a non-partisan and impartial leader capable of steering the nation toward recovery. They emphasize the need for a transitional framework that addresses Haiti’s ongoing challenges, including political instability, economic collapse, and rampant gang violence.
“This is a critical moment for Haiti,” said a spokesperson for the coalition. “Our proposal seeks to restore trust in the government and create a foundation for lasting change. By drawing leadership from the Court of Cassation, we aim to ensure that the transition is guided by integrity and the rule of law.”
The coalition’s emergence comes as Haiti continues to grapple with a power vacuum following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021. The country has since faced escalating violence, widespread protests, and a lack of consensus on how to move forward.
While the coalition’s proposal has sparked debate, it remains unclear how much support it will garner from other political factions, civil society groups, and the international community. Critics have raised questions about the feasibility of the plan and whether it aligns with Haiti’s constitutional framework.
As the coalition pushes its agenda, all eyes are on the Court of Cassation and other key institutions to see how they respond. The proposal represents a potential turning point in Haiti’s political landscape, offering a new approach to resolving the nation’s protracted crisis.
For now, the coalition’s call for a dual leadership transition has added a fresh dimension to Haiti’s ongoing political discourse, as the nation searches for a path toward stability and renewal.
