Defenders Plus demands a new government and a reshuffling of the CEP

In its note, Defenders Plus denounces the current political and security deadlock that threatens the electoral process scheduled for December 2026. The Collective accuses the incumbent government of delaying tactics and warns against an indefinite extension of the transitional power, arguing that this worsens the situation for citizens already facing various challenges.

Defenders Plus therefore advocates for the establishment of a new government team equipped with a clear plan to restore security and prepare for elections within a reasonable timeframe. The organization emphasizes the need for competence, independence, ethics, and impartiality in the recruitment of CEP members.

Furthermore, Defenders Plus calls for the publication of a realistic electoral calendar accompanied by guarantees of transparency and inclusion. The note also calls for urgent measures to secure the territory and protect citizens from armed groups.

Call to Political Actors

The Collective Defenders Plus urges civil society, political actors, and the population to mobilize peacefully to hold leaders accountable and defend the right of citizens to freely choose their representatives.
