The politics of Haiti takes place in the framework of a unitary semi-presidential republic,where the president is the head of state and the prime minister is the head of government. The politics of Haiti are considered historically unstable due to various coups d'état,regime changes,military juntas and internal conflicts. After Jean-Bertrand Aristide was deposed,Haitian politics became relatively stable. The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Haiti an "authoritarian regime" in 2022. According to the V-Dem Democracy indices Haiti is 2023 the 4th least electoral democratic country in Latin America.
The government of Haiti is a semi-presidential republic,a multi-party system wherein the President of Haiti is head of state elected directly by popular elections. The Prime Minister acts as head of government and is appointed by the President,chosen from the majority party in the National Assembly. Executive power is exercised by the President and Prime Minister who together constitute the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of the National Assembly of Haiti. The government is organized unitarily,thus the central government delegates powers to the departments without a constitutional need for consent. The current structure of Haiti's political system was set forth in the Constitution of March 29,1987.
The Constitution of Haiti provides for the election of the President,Parliament,and members of local governing bodies. The 2015–16 Haitian parliamentary election was held. The February 2016 Haitian presidential election was held following annulment of the February 2016 Haitian presidential election.
