The letter, addressed to French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot and dated October 8, said an assessment had concluded that the anticipated political, security and economic conditions on which the November 28, 2026 election date was based had not materialized.

“Holding elections under the current circumstances faces major obstacles affecting their inclusiveness, freedom of participation and the integrity of the electoral process,” the letter said.
