Transitional Council hands power to prime minister
Concentrates executive authority in a single, US‑backed prime minister, narrowing collective executive decision‑making amid rampant gang violence and an under‑deployed UN international security force.
Change
On 7 February 2026, Haiti's Transitional Presidential Council handed executive authority to Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime.
Why it matters
A nine‑member Transitional Presidential Council transferred executive authority to 54‑year‑old Alix Didier Fils‑Aime. The transfer took place under tight security in Port‑au‑Prince on 7 February 2026. The United States announced visa revocations for four unidentified council members and a cabinet minister. Fewer than 1,000 personnel, mostly Kenyan police, have been deployed of a UN‑approved force that has a 5,500‑troop target.
Implications
- — Executive decision‑making centralized in the prime minister’s office.
- — Four council members and one cabinet minister face US visa revocations restricting international travel.
