Provisional government

Following President Michel Martelly's resignation on 10 February 2016, he finished second to Jocelerme Privert in the second round of the indirect provisional presidential election in February 2016.
Edgard Leblanc was one of six people named as a potential prime minister, but Fritz Jean ended up getting the nod.
During a 2024 speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Leblanc called for reparations to Haiti and denounced the Springfield, Ohio pet-eating hoax. A clip of the speech went viral online, showing him drinking water directly from a pitcher, and the presidency was forced to apologize.
