In Haiti, national transitional council installed

The 52 members the National Transitional Council (CNT) tasked with electing a provisional president and a prime minister for Haiti were installed on Sunday. Their nominations formed part of the August 30 agreement allowing for Haiti’s main political parties to establish a transition government until the holding of presidential elections and a constitutional referendum next year. The Montana Accord allowed for the establishment of the CNT made up of the 52 members, appointed by parties, political groups and civil society organisations, who have the task of validating the government’s roadmap and its composition. The Montana Accord “for a Haitian solution to the crisis” currently includes the signatures of 418 civil society organisations, 105 popular organisations, 85 political parties and groups, and 313 personalities. [...] The agreement established the holding of presidential elections by the end of 2022. It also included a national constituent assembly made of 33 members appointed by institutions and civil society organisations. The assembly will have three months to prepare a new constitution, to be voted on in a referendum by Haitians. The agreement establishes a council of ministers under the leadership of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
