The announcement comes in a particularly sensitive political and security context, notably marked by the foiled coup attempt of December 7 and the recent promulgation of the revised Constitution.

This media appearance by the head of state is expected to be a key moment. It should allow the president to speak about national current affairs, the ongoing institutional issues, and the country’s political and security outlook.

Expectations are high, both within the political class and among public opinion, a few weeks before the legislative and municipal elections in January 2026.
