The architects of the “qualified majority 5 out of 7” on the Presidential Council never anticipated being constrained by this very resolution. While some CPT members are in favor of taking conservatory measures against councilors Louis Gérald Gilles, Smith Augustin, and Emmanuel Vertilaire, who are implicated in the BNC corruption scandal, they have been unable to gather the majority needed to pass this decision.

With the CPT now requiring a 5 out of 7 majority to make decisions, the three councilors—Louis Gérald Gilles, Smith Augustin, and Emmanuel Vertilaire—face no immediate risk, at least not from their colleagues on the Presidential Council.
