Vice President of Haiti

Vice President of Haiti (French: Vice-président d'Haïti) is a former political position in Haiti. It was formally established the first and so far the only time in 1874.[1]

The position was formally established in the Constitution of Haiti in August 1874, a new version of the constitution to replaced an earlier version. The presidential term was changed to eight years and a vice president position with executive powers was established.[2]

An office of a jointly-elected Vice President, intended to replace the office of Prime Minister, was proposed by Jovenel Moïse in a draft constitution which he intended to submit for ratification, but his 2021 assassination indefinitely paused its reintroduction.
