Ariel Henry will step down after transitional council is set up, amid an armed uprising by Haiti’s gangs to topple the government

Haiti’s prime minister, Ariel Henry, has issued his resignation, Guyana president Irfaan Ali said on Monday, leaving an unelected role he has held since the 2021 assassination of the country’s previous president.

“We acknowledge his resignation upon the establishment of a transitional presidential council and naming of an interim prime minister,” said Ali, who is also the Caribbean Community chair, thanking Henry for his service to Haiti.
