The prime minister of Haiti (French: Premier ministre d'Haïti, Haitian Creole: Premye Minis Ayiti) is the head of government of Haiti. The office was created under the Constitution of 1987; previously, all executive power was held by the president or head of state, who appointed and chaired the Council of Ministers. The office is currently held by Alix Didier Fils-Aimé who has been serving as acting prime minister since 10 November 2024.

Appointment

The prime minister is appointed by the president and ratified by the National Assembly.

Duties and powers

The prime minister appoints the ministers and secretaries of state by consulting with the president, and goes before the National Assembly to obtain a vote of confidence for their declaration of general policy. The prime minister enforces the laws and, along with the president, is responsible for national defense. In addition, the prime minister oversees the National Commission on Government Procurement (CNMP), a decentralized body.

Records

Gérard Latortue served the longest time as prime minister for a total of 1,550 days in office. Jacques-Édouard Alexis served the second-longest time in office. He held the position for 1,526 days during his two terms, and was the longest-serving prime minister appointed to the position by an elected president.
