“The Transition Clock Is Ticking,” Says Carlos G. Ruiz

The United Nations Secretary-General’s Representative, Carlos G. Ruiz, stated that “the countdown to the transition has begun” as February 7, 2026, approaches. Expressing his “concerns,” he noted that no clear path toward the restoration of democratic governance has yet emerged. He praised the contacts made by the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) with political actors to avoid a political vacuum, during the presentation of his report to the UN Security Council on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.
