Interim President, Joseph Nemours Pierre-Louis, was a lawyer by profession after a time spent teaching physics, until politics called him to lead in 1956. He became president following the exit in December that year of President Paul Magloire. As president of the Supreme Court, constitutionally, he was now the interim president of Haiti. He would serve in the post for less than two months before being succeeded by Franck Sylvain. During his brief time, he would announce the 1957 elections, seize the assets of the former president, and release Louis Dejoie.

Breaking News. We just learned that a new interim Prime Minister has been designated.

Former Health minister, Florence Duperval Guillaume became interim prime minister on Sunday December 21, 2014. She will replace Laurent Lamothe.

Based on the guideline set by the Haitian constitution, Ms. Duperval Guillaume can only hold this interim Prime Minister position for up to 30 days. A permanent has to be designated and confirmed within that period

Haiti's interim Prime Minister, Florence Duperval Guillaume, began her governmental career in 2011 when she was named Minister of Health. Within that role, she earned the regard of aid agencies around the world, and made it her mandate to try and reach the 40% of the country that didn't have basic health care, which she outlined as her biggest challenge. The role of Acting Prime Minister is sanctioned under the Haitian Constitution for no more than 30 days, after which parliament must choose a permanent Prime Minister for the embattled country.
