Prime Minister Garry Conille Returns to Haiti Amid Speculation of Cabinet Shake-Up

On October 15, 2024, Prime Minister Garry Conille returned to Haiti after an international trip. During a press briefing at his arrival, he highlighted key discussions held with global partners but remained vague on specifics. These talks, according to him, focused on bolstering cooperation in critical areas such as security, the economy, and humanitarian aid, all while Haiti grapples with widespread insecurity.

Conille’s return comes at a tense political moment, as he’s been called to meet with the Presidential Transition Council (CPT) at Villa d’Accueil in the coming days. This meeting is expected to review his trip but will also likely touch on the prospect of a cabinet reshuffle.

For weeks, rumors have circulated about possible changes in the government. The CPT, led by Lesly Voltaire, is pressing for a realignment of the administration to better address Haiti’s deepening crises, particularly the escalating violence and economic instability. Sources suggest that several ministers may be replaced as part of this reorganization.

With political pressure mounting, Conille faces critical decisions that could reshape his administration and the country’s future.
