Port-au-Prince, January 24, 2026 \u2014 Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aim\u00e9 has begun a series of meetings with several members of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), in a context marked by strong institutional tensions linked to the resolution seeking his removal.
According to our sources, the head of government visited adviser-president Smith Augustin on Saturday. He is also expected to meet adviser Emmanuel Vertilaire in the coming hours, as well as other council members.<\/p> \n \n
We contacted the Prime Minister\u2019s Office to ask whether PM Fils-Aim\u00e9 also plans to visit Leslie Voltaire and Edgar Leblanc. A member of the cabinet told us that the Prime Minister will carry out the necessary visits to help ease the situation.<\/p> \n \n
This round of meetings comes one day after the correspondence sent on January 23, 2026, by Smith Augustin to the CPT coordinator, Laurent Saint-Cyr, requesting the convening of a consultation meeting of the Council in order to reach a minimum consensus on the modalities for finalizing the resolution signed by a majority of advisers.
In that letter, Smith Augustin stressed the need to preserve political stability, institutional continuity, and to avoid a worsening of internal divisions as the February 7, 2026 deadline approaches.
No official communication has been released regarding the exact nature of the discussions between the Prime Minister and the advisers he met, nor about any possible follow-up to these initiatives.
At the same time, several media sources confirm that discussions are continuing among different CPT members, amid close monitoring by international partners, who have recently called for caution and institutional stability.
At this stage, the Transitional Presidential Council has not publicly commented on any possible change in the situation, and no official meeting schedule has been announced.<\/p> \n \n
The international community has diplomatically described the five adviser-presidents who signed the resolution seeking the removal of PM Fils-Aim\u00e9 as bandits and terrorists.<\/p> \n \n
