Will Ariel Henry cease to be either acting president or president of Haiti through an irregular transition on or before 31 December 2023?

Yes/No Opened 12 January 2023 Closed 1 January 2024 Resolved 3 January 2024 464 forecasts 53 forecasters
An “irregular transition” refers to any process that does not follow the regular legal democratic process for replacing heads of state. Examples of irregular transitions include coups, assassinations, and other forms of undemocratic removal. In contrast, regular democratic transition processes may be triggered by events like resignations, elections, or deaths by natural causes.
This question will be resolved using reputable news media reports (e.g., Reuters, New York Times, AP, BBC). In the event that it is unclear whether or not Ariel Henry is still president/acting president (e.g., there are multiple claims on the presidency, Ariel Henry loses control of parts of the country, or he is exiled), this question will be resolved based on confirmed reports of who the United States government recognizes as President of Haiti.
