Renmen Ayiti

Céant ran for president of Haiti two times under the banner of Renmen Ayiti, once in 2010 and once in 2015.^[1] In his first campaign, he came in fourth, with 8% of the vote,^[2] and in his second he finished sixth, with only 2.5% of the vote.^[3]

The party has had limited electoral success, winning no seats in the Chamber of Deputies or Senate in the 2010-11 elections, and only 2 seats in the Chamber of Deputies in the 2015-16 cycle.^[4]

Céant and his party have been seen as allies of former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his Fanmi Lavalas party.^[5][6][7]

In 2015, Renmen Ayiti denounced the CEP's rules on parties registering for elections as restrictive, with Euvonie Georges Auguste, a Vodou priestess^[8] and then-member of the party's office of electoral affairs, calling the process exclusionary.^[9]

In 2024, the party called to amend the Haitian constitution in order to improve stability and make elections more democratic.^[10] In 2025, they called for another amendment "opening political life to Haitians living abroad, including those with dual nationality,"^[11] allowing members of the Haitian diaspora to vote in Haitian elections.

In 2025, the party issued a denouncement of then Prime Minister and member of Haiti's Transitional Presidential Council Fritz Alphonse Jean, calling him irresponsible and calling the actions of the council "a betrayal of the nation."^[12] In July 2025, the party proposed their own plan for transition, bypassing that of the council, amidst the ongoing Haitian crisis.^[13]
