Canada also opposes a change of government two weeks before the end of the mandate of the Conseil présidentiel de transition. The Canadian Embassy published a statement on Thursday, January 22, 2026, on its X account (formerly Twitter), as members of the CPT seek to dismiss the current head of government, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé.

“Canada is deeply concerned by attempts by several CPT members to replace the Prime Minister just days before the end of their mandate. This action can only weaken the country’s stability and security at a critical moment in its history,” reads the Canadian Embassy’s post on X.
