January 19, 2026 The CPT was established April 3 2024 through an agreement between political parties and civil society organizations to govern Haiti during the transition period leading to elections. The original transition timeline called for presidential elections and transfer of power by February 7 2026, the constitutional date marking the end of the previous presidential term. The CPT replaced the unelected government of Prime Minister Ariel Henry who resigned under international pressure in March 2024 following gang attacks that destabilized Port-au-Prince.
