**Haiti: The Transitional Council Takes Oath**
In the midst of sporadic gunfire near the National Palace, the Transitional Council, comprised of nine members, was inaugurated last week following Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s formal resignation at the day’s onset.
The ceremony, which took place over two parts, occurred at the Prime Minister’s office, situated in a safer area of the capital city. In his address to a full room, newly appointed interim Prime Minister Michel Patrick Boisvert emphasized the prolonged crisis in Haiti and the critical juncture the country finds itself in.
Boisvert referred to the Transitional Council as the “Haitian solution” and expressed his confidence in their dedication to addressing the nation’s challenges. Following the speeches, a moment of unity was observed as guests raised flutes of champagne in a toast to Haiti.
This council, consisting of seven members with voting powers, will play a key role in setting the agenda for a new government. Their responsibilities include appointing a provisional electoral commission necessary for upcoming elections and establishing a national security council. The Council’s term is set to conclude on February 7, 2026, with the swearing-in of a newly elected president.
The formation of the Transitional Council signals a significant step towards resolving Haiti’s crisis and charting a new political course for the country. The Haitian people are hopeful that this Council will rise to the challenges ahead and contribute to restoring stability and prosperity.
