HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The Transitional Presidential Council was established by decree on 12 April 2024 following the
resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry to manage Haiti's transition until elected authorities could
assume office. The decree specified a mandate ending 7 February 2027 aligned with the
constitutional term that would have concluded for an elected president. Prime Minister Alix Didier
Fils-Aime was appointed in November 2025 replacing Garry Conille after the Council cited
governance disagreements. This marks the second Prime Minister transition under CPT authority in
less than three months.
