Former Haitian presidents have played pivotal roles in the country's turbulent political landscape, often marked by instability and transitional governments. Haiti's presidency is the head of state role, with executive power shared with the prime minister. Due to ongoing crises, the office has frequently been occupied by transitional councils rather than elected presidents recently[3]. Notable recent figures include Fritz Alphonse Jean, an economist and former governor of Haiti's Central Bank, who became president of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) in March 2025. He is the third leader under the rotational presidency system established to navigate political instability. Jean's tenure, lasting five months, has been focused on addressing the country's severe security crisis, including escalating violence and gang rule. His administration emphasized increasing police and military recruitment and setting a "corrective war budget" to restore order[1]. Before Jean, Leslie Voltaire led the Transitional Presidential Council from October 2024 to March 2025. Voltaire pledged to hold elections in November 2025, aiming to increase voter participation, including from the diaspora. However, these promises have been met with skepticism due to ongoing insecurity and logistical challenges, with critics arguing that conditions for free and fair elections are not yet present[2]. Laurent Saint-Cyr, a businessman, is slated to succeed Jean in August 2025 to continue the transitional leadership aiming at political stabilization and electoral processes. Saint-Cyr has addressed the United Nations to seek international support for overcoming Haiti's security and governance challenges[4][5]. These recent transitional presidents reflect Haiti's ongoing struggle with governance amid violence and social unrest, with efforts focused on restoring security and preparing for elections despite significant obstacles.
