Haiti's republican system places day-to-day executive leadership in the hands of the government, with a separate head of state performing constitutional duties. Alix Didier Fils-Aimé serves as Acting Prime Minister of Haiti and leads the national government.
Haiti is a republic in which Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, the Acting Prime Minister of Haiti, serves as head of government and directs day-to-day executive policy. A separate head of state performs constitutional or representative functions, while the cabinet carries out the administration of government.
The government operates in relation to a national legislature and is formed or sustained through the country's constitutional and electoral rules. Courts and other independent or constitutional bodies form part of the institutional system, with the balance of authority defined by law.
Since the Transitional Presidential Council ended its mandate on February 7, 2026, executive authority has been exercised by the Council of Ministers under Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. Haiti remains in a transitional period, with restoring security and organizing elections among the government’s central objectives as the country works toward fully elected democratic institutions.
