Haiti has a document that lays the groundwork for choosing him or her, and the text is called the Mechanism applicable to the election of the President of the Presidential Transitional Council.

It will be implemented by an office created for this purpose, according to the online newspaper Le Nouvelliste.

On Thursday, the members of the CPT were sworn in at the National Palace, from where they will chart the course for the political reordering of the Caribbean country.

Before a limited audience, Smith Agustin; Louis Gérald Gilles; Fritz, Alphonse Jean; Edgard Leblanc Jr; Laurent Saint-Cyr; Emmanuel Vertilaire, Leslie Voltaire, Régine Abraham and Frinel Joseph sealed their commitment to the nation.

At the same time, former Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry officially resigned and appointed Michel Patrick Boisvert as interim Prime Minister by decree, pending the formation of another government.

This body, once in place, will have to appoint a Prime Minister and form a concerted government with him.

It will also form the Provisional Electoral Council; formulate additional requirements for the regular national security forces to address the international community and establish a National Security Council.

It will also sign decrees and orders issued by the Council of Ministers; and the continuation of relations with Kenya within the framework of the International Security Support Mission.

The Council will enjoy all the presidential powers conferred by the Constitution.
