Looking back at 100 days of CPT
“It’s been 100 days since the CPT was established. During this grace period, we worked to create harmony so that we could work, because we came from different sectors… During this period, we formed the government, elected the prime minister, and made resolutions and decrees to form these structures.
In two weeks, we will complete the formation of the Government Operations Control Body (OCAG), the CEP, the Steering Committee to launch the National Conference and the National Security Council. We strengthen the high command of the PNH and FAd’H with a view to restoring security,” concluded Edgard Leblanc Fils, Chairman of the Presidential Transition Council (CPT).

More substantial support is needed so that the federation can support the athletes and their coaches to put them in the best possible condition to prepare and compete in the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 2028.”
