Constitutional transition: the New Alliance revives debate on the 1987 Constitution

Dr. Berg Hyacinthe and Jean Pierre Bailly

Port-au-Prince, September 8, 2025.- On Monday, September 8, 2025, on Magik 9, the New Alliance for a Constitutional Transition presented two bulletins calling for the restoration of the 1987 Constitution. Its coordinator Jean Pierre Bailly and Dr Berg Hyacinthe, of the Grenadiers platform, call for the replacement of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) with a governance from the Court of Cassation, while rejecting the ongoing constitutional reform, the Kenyan force and the role of Caricom in the negotiations.

Guests of the Magik Panel, Jean Pierre Bailly and Dr. Berg Hyacinthe defended the need to return to the 1987 Constitution, judged « on standby » but restored by a simple ministerial decree.
« La non-application intégrale de la Constitution de 1987 est responsable de l’instabilité politique et de l’interminable pouvoir de transition « , a déclaré Jean Pierre Bailly.

La Nouvelle Alliance a également confirmé avoir adressé une correspondance au chargé d’affaires américain en Haïti, Henry Wooster. Dans ce courrier, la structure demande l’exclusion de la Caricom des négociations politiques, l’abandon du déploiement de la force kényane et l’annulation de la réforme constitutionnelle en cours. Selon ses responsables, ces requêtes commencent déjà à produire des « retombées positives « .

As part of the commemoration of the death of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the New Alliance foresees a parade and the deposit of a wreath of flowers symbolically on the grave of the nation's father. A strong gesture was also announced: the symbolic deposit of the 1987 Constitution before the Court of Cassation.
