Wilsonn Telimo Lwi,

Here's my proposal and analysis regarding the transition of the Haitian Government after February 7, 2026, based on the amended 1987 Constitution:

Article 138: President  

The President of the Republic serves as the guarantor of national independence and territorial integrity.  

Fact: The President was tragically assassinated.  

Article 149: Prime Minister  

In the event of a presidential vacancy, the Council of Ministers, led by the Prime Minister, assumes executive power until a new President is elected within 90 days.  

Logic: The 90 days following the vacancy ended on October 7, 2021, and the former Prime Minister, Ariel Henry, reportedly had a role in the assassination of the President.  

Article 173: Court of Cassation  

Judicial authority is exercised by the Court of Cassation, alongside the courts of appeal, first-instance courts, justices of the peace, and special courts, with laws defining their number, structure, organization, operation, and jurisdiction.  

Logic: The amended 1987 Constitution does not empower the Court of Cassation to assume the duties of the President of the Republic.  

Article 185: High Court of Justice  

The Senate has the authority to establish a High Court of Justice, presided over by the President of the Senate, with the President of the Court of Cassation acting as Vice-President and Secretary. If judges from the Court of Cassation or officials from the Ministry of Public Affairs involved in the proceedings are under investigation, two senators appointed by the accused will assist the President of the Senate, though these senators do not have voting rights.  

Logic: If a judge under investigation cannot participate in the High Court of Justice, this puts those judges implicated in the President's assassination—because they were appointed by Ariel Henry, who is alleged to have been involved—in a precarious position within the entire judicial system. Therefore, they would also be ineligible to become President of the Republic.  

Article 141: Commander-in-Chief of the Haitian Armed Forces  

The President of the Republic, after consultation with the Council of Ministers and the Senate, is responsible for appointing the Commander-in-Chief of the Haitian Armed Forces, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Police, ambassadors, consuls general, and directors of autonomous agencies.  

Justification: If the President, along with the legitimate Government of Jovenel Moise and the Senate, appointed the Commander-in-Chief of the Haitian Armed Forces, he has the legitimacy to facilitate the transition of a new Government and ensure a new president is appointed.  

Rectification: While it might seem ideal for the Commander-in-Chief of the National Police to manage the transition, he, too, could be implicated in the President's assassination.  

Otherwise, those complicit in the President's assassination may continue to govern with the support of the international community. The options then become limited to a coup d'état, or perhaps a fortunate twist of fate could see me stepping into the presidency as a dedicated young leader working towards an autonomous Haiti focused on agriculture, justice, and education (AJE).
