While members of the Presidential Council were supposed to gather on Monday evening to elect their president, they had to postpone the election session to a later date.

In a correspondence from the Montana Agreement Monitoring Office (BSA) sent to the members of the Presidential Council, a copy of which was obtained by Le Nouvelliste, the BSA requested the postponement of the election. "Following our various working sessions and as agreed during our conversation tonight, the Montana Agreement Monitoring Office (BSA) invites you to intervene with the other designated members of the Council to take all necessary measures to postpone the elections scheduled for this evening for the presidency of the Presidential Council to a period not exceeding 72 hours," reads the correspondence.
