The President of the Court of Cassation, Judge Jean Joseph Lebrun, is reportedly willing to serve as the Provisional President of the Republic once the mandate of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) expires. This information was confirmed by former Senator Jean-Renel Sénatus.
Meeting in Pétion-Ville on Sunday, February 1, 2026, several political parties reached an agreement to establish a two-headed executive government, which would be entrusted to a judge from the Court of Cassation starting this coming February 7. With this goal in mind, a five-member commission was formed to consult with the relevant magistrates. This commission is composed of Jean-Renel Sénatus, Djina Guillet Delatour, Annibal J. F. Coffy, Jeantel Joseph, and Jonas Coffy.
According to gathered reports, no judge from the Court of Cassation had initially volunteered to take on such a responsibility. However, the commission met this Monday morning with the Court’s President, Jean Joseph Lebrun, who reportedly declared himself available to take on this provisional role.
Following this meeting, the commission has reportedly already sent official correspondence to CPT Coordinator Laurent Saint-Cyr, as well as to Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, requesting a meeting to discuss this institutional option.
As a reminder, Judge Jean Joseph Lebrun became the head of the Court of Cassation on November 22, 2022, succeeding René Sylvestre, under the administration of former Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
