PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Fritz Alphonse Jean, representative of the Montana Accord, was officially sworn in as president of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) on Friday, March 7, 2025, succeeding Leslie Voltaire from the Fanmi Lavalas political party, whose five-month tenure was overshadowed by worsening security conditions. The handover ceremony at Villa d’Accueil in Musseau, Port-au-Prince, was attended by members of the diplomatic corps and government officials.
Jean is a representative of the Montana Accord.
The Accord is an approach proposed in August 2021 by the Commission for a Search to a Haitian Solution to the Crisis, a group of civic, religious and political organizations and leaders that assembled after the assassination of Jovenel Moise left Haiti without a head of state.
