Ariel Henry (French pronunciation:[aʁjɛlɑ̃ʁi]; born 6 November 1949) is a Haitian neurosurgeon and politician who served as the acting prime minister after the assassination of Jovenel Moïse, until his formal resignation on 24 April 2024.[1][10][11][12] During this period where the role of the head of state was vacant, the Council of Ministers he presided exercised executive power.[13][14] He also served as the acting Minister of Interior and Territorial Communities.
Henry became involved in a controversy due to his refusal to cooperate with the authorities regarding his connections with Joseph-Félix Badio, one of the suspects accused of orchestrating the assassination of Moïse.[15] Officers who investigated the case suspected Henry was involved in planning the assassination.[16][17]
On 11 March 2024, Henry announced that he would resign when a transitional presidential council was created,[18] doing so on 24 April 2024 when the council was installed. Henry's outgoing cabinet appointed the Minister of Finance and Economy Michel Patrick Boisvert as the interim Prime Minister.[19][20]
