After the resignation of the contested Prime Minister of Haiti, a new transition council was formed to restore public order in a country plagued by gang violence. During an official ceremony broadcast on television, politician Edgard Leblanc Fils was chosen as the president of this council. He will play a coordinating role within the body to address the challenges facing the nation.
The majority of council members suggested Fritz Bélizaire as the Prime Minister. Frinel Joseph, a non-voting member of the council, promised further details on this proposal at a later time. The decision to appoint a new president came after an agreement among the seven voting members, rather than through an internal election as previously planned.
Despite initial complications and changes in plans, the council is now operational due to successful negotiations and agreements between different stakeholders. It took several weeks of discussions and negotiations to establish the council due to disagreements among political parties, stakeholders, and the outgoing government. Now, with a new leadership structure in place, the council aims to address the urgent issues facing Haiti and work towards stability and progress.
