A CEP press note reporting a working meeting held on Monday 4 May 2026 between the Council's representatives, including Executive Director Uder Antoine, and the political director of the Gang Repression Force, Lavoi Beppe. The meeting falls within preparations for the coming general elections, and the Council states that it allowed the CEP to form a clear picture of the Force's mission and of its role in establishing a security environment conducive to holding the coming polls. The Council closes by reaffirming its firm commitment to democratic, inclusive, just and equitable elections, in keeping with republican principles and popular expectations. The note is worth reading on its own terms: an electoral authority coordinating directly with an anti-gang force, and saying so publicly, is a measure of how far security conditions shape the electoral process rather than merely constrain it at the margins. It is dated Pétion-ville, 4 May 2026.
