This coming weekend – on Sat., Feb. 7, 2026 – Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) expires, and it is still unclear what new interim government will take its place.
​Initially, it looked like de facto Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, whom the CPT empowered in November 2024, would remain in his post with the strong backing of the U.S. and European Union.
Last week, five of the nine CPT councilor-presidents voted to fire him, but he blocked their decree’s publication in the government journal Le Moniteur (which makes such acts official) thereby stopping his ouster in formality-observant Haiti. It appeared that he might then govern much like former de facto Prime Minister Ariel Henry did from July 2021 through February 2024: a head of government (Prime Minister) without any head of state (President).
