The CEP Publishes the List of Qualified Parties and Groups

On Monday, November 9, 2026, the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) published a list of 48 political parties and groups that have reached the 30,000-member threshold required by law. They include Fanmi Lavalas, Entente Nationale (ENA), Fòs Chanjman Nasyonal (FCN) and seventeen separate political groups.

The same day, several members of the RASANBLE party held a peaceful march in Pétion-Ville to denounce what they see as a lack of neutrality on the part of the CEP. According to Josias Benoît, secretary general of RASANBLE, the institution does not adequately respect the principle of impartiality in its dealings with political parties.

Also that day, in Port-au-Prince, the Ministry for the Status of Women launched an initiative to draw more women into the electoral process. The strategy aims in particular to strengthen women's participation in politics and in the Haitian electorate.

List Published

The CEP specifies that three independent candidates have also completed their registration before the deadline set by the electoral calendar. The registration period ended at midnight on Sunday, November 8, and no changes or new registrations are now possible.

March for Impartiality

Several members of the RASANBLE party held a peaceful march through the streets of Pétion-Ville to demand that the CEP remain neutral. The demonstrators carried placards and chanted to underline their concern over the preferential treatment given to certain candidates.

Mobilizing Women

The Ministry for the Status of Women has launched an initiative to strengthen women's political participation. The strategy aims to promote adherence to the constitutional quota of 30% female representation in decision-making bodies.
