According to the Xinhua News Agency, local opinion on the dismissal of former Haitian Prime Minister Cosnier said that the change of prime minister was mainly due to a conflict between Cosnier and Lessley Voltaire, the chairman of the Council of Transitional Presidents. The committee had asked Konier to change his cabinet, but was rejected. Cosnier recently sent a letter to the commission demanding the resignation of some of its members accused of corruption.<\/p>\n
On July 7,2021, the country was rocked by the assassination of its then-president, Jovenel Moise. Haitian presidential elections were 2024 to take place by February 7, but failed to materialize. In late February, gangs attacked government offices and public facilities in port-au-prince, demanding the resignation of then-prime Minister Hariel Henry. In April, a Council of transitional presidents was formed and Henry announced his resignation. In accordance with the Haitian decree, the Council of the transitional President has temporary specific presidential powers pending the inauguration of a democratically elected president. The democratically elected president should take office no later than February 72026. In September, Haiti set up a provisional electoral council. The situation in Haiti has deteriorated sharply since late February as gangs have seized power in the country’s political turmoil, AP and AFP reported. The United Nations estimates that gangs control 85 percent of port-au-prince.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
