Earlier this month, the Fanmi Lavalas political party of former President Jean Bertrand Aristide had threatened to withdraw from the nine-member CPT if Fritz Bélizaire was not removed as prime minister.

The CPT had earlier named Belizaire, a former sports minister, as the country’s prime minister replacing Michel Patrick Boisvert, the former minister of economy and finance who was the current interim prime minister.

The Conference of Haitian Pastors has also “strongly” criticised what it described as the “undemocratic approach and the violation of the agreement of April 3, 2024” in the appointment of Belizaire as prime minister.
