HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Haitian interim governments have historically faced legitimacy challenges due to absence of
electoral mandate. The 1991-1994 period saw parallel claims to authority. The 2004-2006 interim
government under Boniface Alexandre and Gerard Latortue operated with international backing
but limited domestic acceptance. Current situation differs in having stronger international
consensus but weaker constitutional foundation than previous transitions which retained nominal
parliamentary structures.
