HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Haiti's transitional governance framework was established following Ariel Henry's forced
resignation in 2024. The CPT was designed as a temporary collective executive pending
elections. The February 7, 2027 date represents the constitutional endpoint for the transition
period. Previous Haitian prime ministers have faced removal through combinations of political
pressure, international withdrawal of support, and popular protests when unable to build
consensus among competing factions.
