A plan to establish a transitional presidential council in Haiti is making progress, with a majority of Haitian parties and coalitions having submitted the names for a new leadership team. This development was confirmed by Caribbean officials on Thursday and reported by the AP, who noted that at least five names have been proposed for the seven available positions on the council, which will have voting powers. However, the process has been marked by uncertainty and disputes, with concerns about the council's legitimacy being raised. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken acknowledged that most parties have named their representatives, but some have yet to do so, indicating a potential for a 'legitimacy crisis' from the outset of the council's formation, as highlighted by Jake Johnston from the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
