Edgard Leblanc Fils (born 18 August 1955)[2] is a Haitian politician, who was president of the Senate from 1995 to 2000,[3] and was the president of the Transitional Presidential Council from April 2024 to October 2024.
Following Michel Martelly's resignation on 10 February 2016, he finished second to Jocelerme Privert in the second round of the indirect provisional presidential election in February 2016 (in which only the Parliament voted).[4]
Edgard Leblanc was one of six people named as a potential prime minister,[5] but Fritz Jean ended up getting the nod.[6]
During a 2024 speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Leblanc called for reparations to Haiti and denounced the Springfield, Ohio pet-eating hoax. A clip of the speech went viral online, showing him drinking water directly from a pitcher, and the presidency was forced to apologize.[7] [8]
