Haiti's Prime Ministers (1988-2026)
Every Prime Minister since the 1987 Constitution created the office
The 1987 Constitution created the office of Prime Minister to divide executive power: the president is head of state, but the Prime Minister leads the government (Article 137). The president chooses the PM from the majority party in Parliament, and the PM must win a confidence vote in both chambers (Article 158). This list has 30 entries — acting PMs are flagged. Note the instability: in more than 35 years, almost no Prime Minister lasted more than 2 years, and the post sat vacant for nearly 17 months after 1997, and between 1988 and 1991.
Note: the office was de facto abolished between June 1988 and February 1991 (military regime), and sat vacant from October 1997 to March 1999 because Parliament rejected every nominee. Governments of the 1991-1994 military regime are flagged as disputed.
