Executive power in Haiti is divided between the president and the government headed by the Prime Minister of Haiti.[A133] The President is Claude Joseph following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse on July 7, 2021.[3] The presidency has been in dispute since 9 July between acting Prime Minister Claude Joseph and Haitian Senator Joseph Lambert after the senate elected the latter to be interim President, although the United Nations recognizes Claude Joseph as the legitimate acting President.[4][5]
