de facto

Here is a picture of former Haitian Prime Minister Marc Luis Bazin heading Haiti Defacto government.

While Bazin never won the presidency, he was briefly made Acting Prime Minister, under the rule of General Raoul Cedras. The public's reception of this move was not positive, and the problem that was creating such a palpable glass ceiling for Bazin was abundantly clear. Even though he was, like the masses, black, his apparent backing by the U.S. made him unfavorable. Despite his track record of not succombing to corruption, the American affiliation, and his public image as being in league with the bourgeoisie, would hold him back. Bazin settled into life as a popular journalist and commentator, but would continue again to run for president of the country.

This is the picture of Williams Regala and Henri Namphy together.

General Henri Namphy (born November 2, 1932) had been always remained on close terms with the Duvalier family during their thirty years of monarchy. There he held several key positions such as the Deputy Commander of the Presidential Guard and Chief of Staff, but all the time he had distanced himself from the worst aspects of the Duvalier dictatorship like killing and other ugliness. He had maintained a close, cordial relationship with the brutal rulers. Some acquaintances describe him more as a counselor than a close friend. However, he is considered by many as a disciplined man and a good administrator with some down-to-earth bent. Once, a foreign diplomat who worked with him in a hurricane recovery operation termed him as ''a soldier's soldier.''

President Martelly has placed Evans Paul's name in nomination before Parliament as Martelly's choice to be Haiti's next prime minister.

Paul won the political spotlight in the 1990s as an ally of twice-dethroned President Aristide, but later became a foe of his. Paul once ran for the presidency in 2006, but lost with only 2.5 percent of the vote.

If Paul wins confirmation from Parliament he will succeed provisional Prime Minister Florence Guillaume, taking Laurent Lamothe's place.
