Haiti - Politics : First rumors around the future Prime Minister
10/02/2017 10:38:25

Following the resignation of the Prime Minister https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-20057-haiti-flash-prime-minister-resigns.html and given that no political party has a direct majority in Parliament, President Jovenel Moses Moïse began consultations with the Presidents of both Houses in accordance with Article 137 of the amended Constitution which states "The President of the Republic choose a Prime Minister from among members of the majority party of the Parliament. The majority is established on the basis of the electoral results of elected representatives in each of the two Chambers. In the absence of this majority, the President of the Republic chooses his Prime Minister in consultation with the President of the Senate and the President of the Chamber of Deputies. In both cases the choice must be ratified by Parliament."

Wednesday evening Jovenel Moïse has a first meeting with Youri Latortue, the President of the Senate and Cholzer Chancy, President of the Lower House to define at first the profile of the next Prime Minister. For Senator Youri Latortue it must be a convener, a person with a good knowledge of the political and business world, able to negotiate with the international and the Parliament.

The rumor machine is launched and already several names of possible Prime Minister, circulate on social networks and in the corridors of Parliament but nothing official :

Olivier Barreau, a respected businessman known as a visionary (President of the insurance company AIC);
Gabriel Fortuné, former Senator and Mayor of Les Cayes;
Cholzer Chancy, President of the Chamber of Deputies (re-elected by acclamation), who seems to be favorite according to Senator Latortue;
Jean Walnard Dornéval, a senior official of the Chancellery, who has the full confidence of President Moïse.
