Haiti Transition Completes as Prime Minister Fils-Aimé Assumes Full Executive Power
On May 3, 2026, the formal transfer of power to Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé was finalized following the dissolution of the Transitional Presidential Council. The transfer occurred under heavy security as U.S. warships remained stationed off the coast of Port-au-Prince to prevent gang interference. The Prime Minister is now the sole executive authority in Haiti as the country fails to meet the February 2026 deadline for national elections, extending the political crisis.
