Henry’s resignation was confirmed through a letter dated April 24, signed by his office in Los Angeles and submitted on the same day a council responsible for selecting a new prime minister and cabinet was scheduled to be sworn in.

The resignation of Prime Minister Henry signifies a significant step in Haiti’s political transition process, as the country seeks to address its complex array of challenges and pave the way for stability and progress.
