Haitian politician
Fritz Belizaire
is a
Haitian
politician and
civil engineer
who was nominated by four of the seven parties of the
Transitional Presidential Council
to act as
Prime Minister of Haiti
. Before being nominated, he was the Minister of Youth and Sports from 2006 to 2011 under President
Rene Preval
and as an executive in the
Ministry of Public Works, Transportation and Communications
.

Belizaire has been described as "little known", but was praised by
Edgard Leblanc Fils
, who was chosen the same day by the Transitional Presidential Council to be its president.
[1]
Though designated by a majority, the choice was contested within the council.

[6]
As a result, the "Indissoluble Majority Bloc" (BMI), composed of Smith Augustin, Emmanuel Vertilaire, Louis Gerald Gilles and Edgard Leblanc Fils, agreed to respect the procedure laid out in the 3 April 2024 agreement, thereby giving the other sectors a chance to make nominations.
[7]
The council later started re-accepting submissions for the position of Prime Minister from 13?17 May, seemingly discarding the earlier decision to appoint Belizaire.
