The Haitian National Police blocked all access to the Villa d’Accueil, seat of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), using armored vehicles this morning, February 6, 2026, as the CPT mandate nears expiration on Saturday, February 7, according to RTV Galaxie and Le Nouvelliste. No confirmation exists on CPT members' presence or access to offices during this 2-hour reporting window from 12:46 PM to 2:46 PM UTC. Political actors failed to reach agreement on post-February 7 governance after discussions with CARICOM Eminent Persons yesterday and Montana meetings late last night, Gazette Haiti reported. CARICOM stated that absent an agreement by Saturday, power transfers to the council of ministers chaired by Prime Minister Garry Conille until elections. Fanmi Lavalas, PHTK, Montana, and the private sector did not attend last night's meeting. This security measure at Villa d’Accueil follows schools' suspension of classes in Port-au-Prince today amid insecurity and uprising calls, as previously reported by RTV Galaxie. The block reflects escalating tensions on the eve of the CPT deadline. The police action utilizes armored vehicles, including three donated by South Korea and received Thursday, February 5, per Passion Info Plus, bolstering efforts against criminal gangs.
