No official list could be opened: the Prime Minister's site (primature.gouv.ht) has no reachable list of ministers, communication.gouv.ht did not resolve, and the embassy page in Canada still shows the 2021 government, so every seat is sourced, not verified. Titles are translated from French. The cabinet lists the Prime Minister and 18 ministers; the secretaries of state (Territorial Communities; Communication) are not listed. Health: the Haitian Times (March 2026) and PAHO (April 2026) name the minister as Sinal Bertrand / Dr Bertrand Sinal, while French Wikipedia still lists Duckenson Lorthe Blema; the more recent sources are followed and the name order could not be confirmed. Start dates are given only where a source states the appointment; no ministerial changes after March 2026 were found.

Council of Ministers, led by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé

Exercises the interim of the presidency · 7 Feb 2026 – present[2][4][5]

The office of President is vacant. The Transitional Presidential Council's mandate ended on 7 February 2026 without a presidential election and it handed its powers to the Council of Ministers and the Prime Minister. The arrangement is not an elected presidency: it rests on the 2024 transition agreement and on the National Pact for Stability and the Organisation of Elections signed on 21-22 February 2026. Three council members stayed away from the handover, and some members had announced a three-member presidential college that was never installed.

Since 7 February 2026 the Council of Ministers has also exercised the interim of the presidency. The US Embassy in Port-au-Prince stated its support for Fils-Aimé's leadership before the council's mandate ended, and the US sanctioned council members who pushed for his removal; no other recognition statement was confirmed. The Provisional Electoral Council has a first-round general election scheduled for 13 December 2026 but had not confirmed it as of 6 October 2026, when it postponed the campaign. Dates are the start of each minister’s current term in this government.
