2027 Presidential Election: Dominique Dupuy Makes Her Candidacy Official Under the PVD Banner

The race for Haiti’s 2027 presidency has a new contender. Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Dominique Dupuy has registered her candidacy on the platform of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), under the banner of Pati Vizyon Dayiti (PVD). Her registration appears as number 35 on the list of candidacies. The move marks her entry into the competition for the country’s highest office, as several political figures have already announced their intention to run for President of the Republic.

A candidacy awaiting CEP validation

However, this online registration does not yet constitute final validation of her candidacy. Candidates must complete their files by submitting the documents required by the electoral institution. The CEP will then review them before publishing the official list of approved candidates. According to the electoral calendar, online registration for presidential and legislative candidacies closes at midnight on November 15, 2026. Applicants then have until November 30 to submit the required documents.

Dominique Dupuy’s diplomatic and ministerial career

A native of Cap-Haïtien, Dominique Dupuy served as Haiti’s ambassador and permanent delegate to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) starting in January 2021. She then headed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Religious Affairs and Haitians Living Abroad from June 12 to November 16, 2024. The first round of the presidential and legislative elections is scheduled for July 18, 2027, while the second round is set for October 4 of the same year.
