The uncertainty prevailing in the electoral process raises doubts among political actors regarding the authorities' ability to successfully carry out this process. On Friday, October 2, 2026, on the Panel Magik show, it was the national coordinator of the political grouping Soleil, Wadner Edouard, who expressed his concerns. In his speech, Mr. Edouard, also president of the Rassemblement des démocrates nationaux progressistes (RNDP), noted a "fumbling" by the electoral and governmental authorities. "There is a sort of fumbling at the CEP level, and in the process as a whole. This fumbling increasingly raises doubts about the State's capacity to organize elections in the country," insists Wadner Edouard. The coordinator of the Soleil platform wants to be factual. His doubts are based, among other things, on the successive modifications of the electoral decree. A situation he considers unique since 1986. The text, initially adopted on June 2, 2026, was modified to give rise to a new version published on July 2. In response to the various demands from the actors involved in the electoral process, the CEP announced, as early as September 16, the holding of discussions "in view of a modification of the current electoral decree." Two changes in just three months, the pill is hard to swallow for Wadner Edouard who claims to "not remember that a text – decree or law – in force has ever been amended." While the amendment of July 2 seemed opportune for the politician, he still views the recurring changes requested to the text by the CEP with a wary eye, although he acknowledges the need to modify certain provisions. This, for him, either reflects the specter of a "custom-tailored election," or is a clear sign of “amateurism in managing state matters." Wadner Edouard nevertheless calls to review some provisions, particularly regarding the requirements imposed on candidates from local authorities, such as the issuance of certificates from the BRH (paragraph 20 of article 153 of the electoral decree) and from ONA and FDI (paragraph 21). He advocates for the cancellation of these requirements, as is the case for property, which is stated as not compulsory for candidates from local authorities (art. 154). The obligation for public agents and officials to resign or take leave as stated in paragraph 17 (art. 153) also poses a problem for the politician, as no exceptions are made for doctors and professors. However, he warns against any major changes to the electoral decree. According to the coordinator of the RNDP, such an approach would only reinforce the wavering image of the electoral and governmental authorities, on which any doubt regarding their capacity to conduct the electoral process would be legitimate. For its part, the CEP continues to work on the electoral process and the modifications announced in the electoral text. On Friday, October 2, a meeting was held between the electoral body and the leaders of parties, groups, and political groupings regarding the changes that will be made to the electoral decree. The CEP's notes, resulting from consultations with political actors, are reported to have already been transferred to the Executive, which should not take long to promulgate the third version of the electoral decree.<\/p>
