Haiti is slowly moving towards a major governance change. The country is transitioning from Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who had all the power - without any checks and balances - to a multi-headed governance system with a prime minister supervised by a presidential council of 7 or 9 members, some of whom will be observers. This formula is concocted after political actors failed to agree on a lighter formula. CARICOM, Canada, and especially the United States of America are shepherding the discussions. According to what is being said, all major parties and political groupings will be members of the council. The private sector, churches, and civil society will also be included. To access a slice of power, council members must each accept the deployment of the multinational security support mission, refrain from running for the next elections, and not have been convicted or indicted, according to the conditions accepted until Monday night. For the moment, nothing is set in stone. The council members are not yet known. Negotiations continue, and the international community seeks to confine our famous political leaders. At the end of the process, no one will forget from whom they derive their power or what their obligations are. As the contours of the presidential council take shape, elders recall the history of the Executive Council of Government, also known as the collegial government, in 1957 at the initiative of four presidential candidates (Daniel Fignolé, Louis Déjoie, Francois Duvalier, and Métrius Bonaventure). The council and its 57-member college did not last long. Concretely, it is not yet known how power will be distributed within the council or between the prime minister and the government. It is also unclear what role politics will play and what role will be given to technicians. Nor is it known what the reactions of the gangs, who see themselves as kingmakers, will be. Haiti is leaving the reign of King Henry to enter the unknown of a new dimension.
