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.
