2027 Senate Elections: Assad Volcy Makes His Candidacy in the Nippes Official Under the VIKTWA Banner

Journalist and Gazette Haïti News CEO Assad Volcy has officially entered the race for the Senate in the Nippes department. On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, he completed his online registration with the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) under the banner of the VIKTWA political platform.

A reshuffle within VIKTWA

This registration ends weeks of speculation about his possible participation in the upcoming elections. His entry into the race has also led to a reshuffle within VIKTWA. The platform had to withdraw Gilles Pierressaint Delatour, who had also hoped to run for the Nippes Senate seat under the same banner. A native of the department, Assad Volcy thus joins the list of figures seeking to represent the Nippes in the upper chamber in the next election. His candidacy comes as registrations with the electoral institution are multiplying ahead of the close of the process.

A candidacy still subject to CEP validation

However, his online registration does not yet amount to final validation. His file will have to be reviewed by the CEP, which will later publish the official list of approved candidates.
