He assumed the presidency in February 2017 following his victory in the\nNovember 2016 Haitian presidential election\n.\n[\n1\n]\n[\n2\n]\nMoïse's presidency coincided with a period of political instability in Haiti, including\ncivil unrest\n,\ngang-related violence\n,\nfuel shortages\nand widespread lawlessness.\n[\n3\n]\n[\n4\n]\nOn 7 July 2021, Moïse was shot and killed in a premeditated targeted attack.\n[\n5\n]\n[\n6\n]\n[\n7\n]\nEarly life and education\n[\nedit\n]\nMoïse and his wife, Martine, at the 73rd\nUnited Nations General Assembly\nin 2018 with U.S. President\nDonald Trump\nand U.S. First Lady\nMelania Trump\nJovenel Moïse was born on 26 June 1968 in\nTrou du Nord\n,\nNord-Est\n. Moïse's father, Étienne Moïse, was a farmer and a mechanic, while his mother, Lucia Bruno, was a\nseamstress\n. Moïse, alongside his family, relocated to\nPort-au-Prince\nin July 1974, where he attended primary school at the\nÉcole Nationale Don Durélin\n, secondary school at Lycée Toussaint Louverture, and the Centre Culturel du\nCollège Canado-Haïtien\n.\n[\n8\n]\nMoïse pursued studies in\npolitical science\nat\nQuisqueya University\nwith a particular focus on local governance and rural development.\n[\n9\n]\nIn 1996, Moïse married\nMartine Marie Étienne Joseph\n, who was his classmate at the time. They left Port-au-Prince that year and settled in\nPort-de-Paix\n. After returning to rural Nord-Est, he advocated for rural development, proposing that Haiti address endemic poverty in part through an\nagrarian economy\n.\n[\n10\n]\nJovenel and Martine Moïse had three children: Jomarlie Moïse,\nJovenel Moïse Jr.\n, and\nJoverlein Moïse\n.\n[\n9\n]\nIn the mid-1990s, Moïse established JoMar Auto Parts, a company that sold automobile components. The following year, he started an organic banana plantation of more than 10 hectares (25 acres) in Haiti's\nNord-Ouest department\n. In 2001, he worked with\nCulligan Water\n, an American water treatment company, to set up potable water filtration plants in the Nord-Ouest and Nord-Est departments. By 2004, Moïse joined the Northwest Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCINO), later serving as its president.\n[\n11\n]\nIn 2012, Moïse founded Agritrans SA to manage what was presented as Haiti's first agricultural free-trade zone, a 1,000-hectare (2,500-acre) banana plantation in the Nord-Est, known as the\nNourribo Project\n.\n[\n12\n]\nThe project aimed to export bananas to\nGermany\n, which would have marked Haiti's first banana exports to the country since 1954, but only two containers were ultimately shipped.\n[\n13\n]\nThe Haitian government granted Agritrans tax-free access to land, a 15-year exemption from income tax and customs duties on capital equipment,\n[\n12\n]\nand a $6 million loan. Anonymous investors added at least $10 million. The company projected the creation of about 3,000 jobs, but by March 2015, only around 600 people had been employed.\n[\n14\n]\nMoïse with Canadian Prime Minister\nJustin Trudeau\nin 2018\nMoïse and other Caribbean leaders with U.S. President\nDonald Trump\nin\nFlorida\nin 2019\nUS Ambassador to the UN\nKelly Craft\n, and President Moïse in 2019\nU.S. Secretary of State\nMike Pompeo\nand President Moïse in 2020\nIn 2015, Haitian president\nMichel Martelly\ndesignated Moïse as the presidential candidate of the political party he had founded, the center-right\nHaitian Tèt Kale Party\n(PHTK).\n[\n15\n]\nIn his campaign, Moïse promoted\nbiodynamic agriculture\nas a way to support Haiti, whose population was over 50% rural.\n[\n16\n]\nIn the first round of the\n2015 Haitian presidential elections\n, held on 25 October 2015, Moïse officially received 32.8% of the votes, resulting in a\nrunoff election\nin which Moïse would be running against the runner-up of the first round,\nJude Célestin\n.\n[\n17\n]\n[\n18\n]\nHowever, an\nexit poll\nconducted by the\nHaiti Sentinel\nreflected that Moïse had only received about 6% of the vote, and Célestin called the results fraudulent.\n[\n19\n]\n[\n20\n]\nAs a result, thousands of people took to the streets in violent protests, forcing the postponement of the runoff election.\n[\n21\n]\nIn their wake, the 2015 ballot was ultimately annulled in June 2016.\n[\n17\n]\n[\n22\n]\nIn February 2016, after President Michel Martelly's term ended,\nspecial elections\nwere held by parliament and\nJocelerme Privert\nwas installed as interim president until new elections could be held.\n[\n23\n]\nOn 20 November 2016, a new election was held. A week later, election officials declared, based on preliminary results, that Moïse had won the election with 55.67% of the vote and an estimated voter turnout of 21%, beating 26 other candidates—four of whom claimed victory before the official results were announced.\n[\n22\n]\n[\n24\n]\n[\n25\n]\nMoïse secured the presidency without having to compete in a second-round election. In second, third and fourth place (respectively) were mechanical engineer Jude Célestin of\nLAPEH\nwith 19.52%, leftist senator\nJean-Charles Moïse\nof the\nPlatfòm Pitit Dessalines\n(PPD) with 11.04% and\nMaryse Narcisse\nof\nFanmi Lavalas\n(FL) with 8.99%.\n[\n26\n]\nJovenel Moïse was sworn in on 7 February 2017 for a five-year term.\n[\n27\n]\nPolitical opponents claimed that Moïse's five-year presidential term should have expired on 7 February 2021, five years after the conclusion of Michel Martelly's term following\nthe disputed 2015 election\n. Moïse, however, maintained that his term commenced with his official inauguration on 7 February 2017 and would therefore end in 2022.\n[\n28\n]\nIn November 2019, Moïse met with U.S. Ambassador to the\nUnited Nations\nKelly Craft\n, to discuss the methods necessary to resolve Haiti's political crisis through inclusive dialogue.\n[\n29\n]\n[\n30\n]\nCraft later met with several political leaders from other parties and urged an inclusive solution with Moïse.\n[\n30\n]\n[\n31\n]\nDuring his presidency, Moïse’s policies focused on agricultural and water infrastructure development in rural Haiti. In May 2021, he inaugurated the Marion\nhydroelectric\ndam in the Nord-Est department, which became the second-largest dam in the country.\n[\n32\n]\nThe project was intended to supply electricity and irrigation for approximately 10,000 hectares of farmland. Moïse also supported the restoration of the Tannerie reservoir\n[\n33\n]\nand promoted the use of solar-powered pumping stations in the\nArtibonite region\nto boost rice cultivation.\n[\n34\n]\n[\n35\n]\n[\n36\n]\nBefore his assassination, he had initiated efforts to divert water from the\nDajabón River\nfor agricultural use.\n[\n37\n]\n[\n38\n]\n[\n39\n]\nOther infrastructure\n[\nedit\n]\nMoïse’s infrastructure advancement was mainly focused in the two cities of Jeremie and Port-de-Paix, where he installed roads like the Carrefour Joffre\/Anse-à-Foleur and the Carrefour Trois-Rivières. He also rebuilt the airport in Jérémie and constructed power plants to provide electricity to numerous small towns, including Jérémie and Port-de-Paix.\n[\n40\n]\nAsphalt plants in several provinces in Haiti, including in\nGros Mornes\n,\n[\n41\n]\nLes Cayes\n,\n[\n42\n]\nand Trou-du-Nord, were built under Moïse’s rule.\n[\n43\n]\nMoïse received several allegations of corruption, including allegedly taking bribes for road-building projects and improperly awarding a contract to sell goats to the Haitian government.\n[\n44\n]\nThese allegations, coupled with a declining quality of life for Haitian citizens throughout his administration, led to mass demonstrations that sought his resignation.\n2015 presidential election\n[\nedit\n]\nAs no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, a second round was mandated by law. However, this was repeatedly postponed and eventually cancelled,\n[\n46\n]\nwith an interim president appointed indirectly by the legislature in the\nFebruary 2016 Haitian presidential election\nand fresh elections scheduled for 2016.\n[\n47\n]\nNovember 2016 presidential election\n[\nedit\n]\nWith more than 50% of votes cast, Moïse was elected in the first round.\n[\n46\n]\nAround 1:00 AM EDT (5:00 UTC) on 7 July 2021, 11 days after his 53rd birthday, Moïse was shot dead when gunmen attacked his residence in Pèlerin 5, a district of Pétion-Ville.\n[\n49\n]\n[\n50\n]\n[\n51\n]\n[\n52\n]\nHis wife Martine, the\nfirst lady of Haiti\n,  was\nairlifted\nto\nJackson Memorial Hospital\nin Miami to be treated for wounds sustained during the attack.\n[\n53\n]\n[\n54\n]\n[\n55\n]\n[\n56\n]\nTheir three children were unharmed, as two hid successfully and one was not present. A press release issued later that day from the office of acting Prime Minister\nClaude Joseph\nblamed the attack on \"a group of unidentified individuals, some of whom spoke in Spanish.\" On 10 July, Martine Moïse posted a statement on her Twitter account, urging Haitians not to let her late husband's contributions go to waste.\nIn December 2021,\nThe New York Times\nreported that Moïse's assassination might have been linked to his efforts to curb narcotics trafficking and publicly expose high-ranking Haitian officials involved in the drug trade.\n[\n57\n]\nAriel Henry\n, who had been selected as the acting prime minister by Moïse shortly before his assassination, was later accused by several officials of being connected to Joseph Felix Badio, an alleged mastermind of the assassination, and being involved in the planning.\n[\n58\n]\n[\n59\n]\nAnother of the alleged masterminds, Rodolphe Jaar, also stated that Henry was close to Badio and had protected him after the assassination.\n[\n60\n]\nJudge Garry Orélien, who was previously the top judicial official in Haiti overseeing the case, stated that Henry was friends with Badio and planned the assassination with him.\n[\n59\n]\nHenry resigned in 2024 following mass protests demanding that he abandon his\nde facto\ngovernance as head of state.\nOn 20 February 2024, the\nAssociated Press\nreported that Haiti's investigating judge had indicted several suspects in Moïse's murder, including his widow Martine, former acting prime minister Joseph, and former police chief Léon Charles.\n[\n61\n]\nThe indictment was overturned on 13 October 2025 following an appeal.\n[\n62\n]\nAlthough some praised his proposed reforms, Moïse faced significant criticism during his presidency and following his assassination. He was widely accused of attempting to alter the constitution to consolidate government power and extend his presidency.\n[\n63\n]\nIn 2019, he was accused of embezzlement in relation to an investigation into\nPetroCaribe\nfunds.\n[\n64\n]\nMoise was denounced by human rights organization for criminalizing common forms of protest and creating an intelligence agency to provide surveillance of the political opposition.\n[\n65\n]\nA report by the\nInternational Human Rights Clinic\nat\nHarvard Law School\nfound his government complicit in systematically employing violent gangs to suppress political demonstrations and opposition, including planning, executing and covering up of deadly massacres that amounted to crimes against humanity. The report stated that Moïse’s failure to stop or respond to attacks initiated by his subordinates may have made him liable for crimes against humanity.\n[\n66\n]\nConversely, he also received commendation for his initiatives aimed at curbing\ncorruption\nand his willingness to dismantle monopolies, as well as his efforts to challenge oligarchs and members of the Haitian elite.\n[\n67\n]\nMoïse receiving the\nOrder of Brilliant Jade\nat a ceremony held by Taiwanese President\nTsai Ing-wen\nin 2018\nPresident Moïse and former President Michel Martelly, both affiliated with the same political party, encountered substantial opposition and criticism during their respective administrations, primarily in connection with corruption and alleged associations with influential Haitian gangs.\n[\n68\n]\n[\n69\n]\n[\n70\n]\nMoïse was awarded the\nOrder of Brilliant Jade\nwith Grand Cordon by Taiwanese President\nTsai Ing-wen\nin May 2018.\n[\n71\n]\n[\n72\n]\nTsai commended the economic initiatives undertaken by Moïse's government.\n[\n73\n]\nList of assassinated and executed heads of state and government\nList of heads of state and government who died in office\nVilbrun Guillaume Sam\n, another Haitian president who was assassinated (1915)\n^\n@cep_haiti (28 November 2016).\n\"Résultats préliminaires des élections présidentielles du 20 Novembre 2016 pic.twitter.com\/i9GsrkkU8p\"\n(\nTweet\n) – via\nTwitter\n.\n^\nBrice, Makini (29 November 2016).\n\"Businessman Moise wins Haiti election in first round – provisional results\"\n.

Moïse's father, Étienne Moïse, was a farmer and a mechanic, while his mother, Lucia Bruno, was a [seamstress](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dressmaker \"Dressmaker\"). Moïse, alongside his family, relocated to [Port-au-Prince](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Port-au-Prince \"Port-au-Prince\") in July 1974, where he attended primary school at the [École Nationale Don Durélin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=%C3%89cole_Nationale_Don_Dur%C3%A9lin&action=edit&redlink=1 \"École Nationale Don Durélin (page does not exist)\"), secondary school at Lycée Toussaint Louverture, and the Centre Culturel du [Collège Canado-Haïtien](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coll%C3%A8ge_Canado-Ha%C3%AFtien \"Collège Canado-Haïtien\").[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-8) Moïse pursued studies in [political science](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Political_science \"Political science\") at [Quisqueya University](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quisqueya_University \"Quisqueya University\") with a particular focus on local governance and rural development.[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-GuardianObit-9)\n\nIn 1996, Moïse married [Martine Marie Étienne Joseph](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Martine_Mo%C3%AFse \"Martine Moïse\"), who was his classmate at the time. They left Port-au-Prince that year and settled in [Port-de-Paix](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Port-de-Paix \"Port-de-Paix\"). After returning to rural Nord-Est, he advocated for rural development, proposing that Haiti address endemic poverty in part through an [agrarian economy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Agrarian_economy \"Agrarian economy\").[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-10) Jovenel and Martine Moïse had three children: Jomarlie Moïse, [Jovenel Moïse Jr.](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse_Jr.&action=edit&redlink=1 \"Jovenel Moïse Jr. (page does not exist)\"), and [Joverlein Moïse](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Joverlein_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&redlink=1 \"Joverlein Moïse (page does not exist)\").[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-GuardianObit-9)\n\n## Business career\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Business career\")\\]\n\nIn the mid-1990s, Moïse established JoMar Auto Parts, a company that sold automobile components. The following year, he started an organic banana plantation of more than 10 hectares (25 acres) in Haiti's [Nord-Ouest department](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nord-Ouest_\$department\$ \"Nord-Ouest (department)\"). In 2001, he worked with [Culligan Water](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Culligan \"Culligan\"), an American water treatment company, to set up potable water filtration plants in the Nord-Ouest and Nord-Est departments. By 2004, Moïse joined the Northwest Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCINO), later serving as its president.[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-11)\n\nIn 2012, Moïse founded Agritrans SA to manage what was presented as Haiti's first agricultural free-trade zone, a 1,000-hectare (2,500-acre) banana plantation in the Nord-Est, known as the *Nourribo Project*.[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-haitilibre2013-12) The project aimed to export bananas to [Germany](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Germany \"Germany\"), which would have marked Haiti's first banana exports to the country since 1954, but only two containers were ultimately shipped.[\\[13\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-13)\n\nThe Haitian government granted Agritrans tax-free access to land, a 15-year exemption from income tax and customs duties on capital equipment,[\\[12\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-haitilibre2013-12) and a \\$6 million loan.

Martelly](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Michel_Martelly \"Michel Martelly\") designated Moïse as the presidential candidate of the political party he had founded, the center-right [Haitian Tèt Kale Party](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Haitian_T%C3%A8t_Kale_Party \"Haitian Tèt Kale Party\") (PHTK).[\\[15\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-15) In his campaign, Moïse promoted [biodynamic agriculture](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Biodynamic_agriculture \"Biodynamic agriculture\") as a way to support Haiti, whose population was over 50% rural.[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-16)\n\nIn the first round of the [2015 Haitian presidential elections](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2015_Haitian_presidential_election \"2015 Haitian presidential election\"), held on 25 October 2015, Moïse officially received 32.8% of the votes, resulting in a [runoff election](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Two-round_system \"Two-round system\") in which Moïse would be running against the runner-up of the first round, [Jude

poll](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Exit_poll \"Exit poll\") conducted by the *Haiti Sentinel* reflected that Moïse had only received about 6% of the vote, and Célestin called the results fraudulent.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-19)[\\[20\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-20) As a result, thousands of people took to the streets in violent protests, forcing the postponement of the runoff election.[\\[21\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-21) In their wake, the 2015 ballot was ultimately annulled in June 2016.[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-auto2-17)[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-auto-22) In February 2016, after President Michel Martelly's term ended, [special elections](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/February_2016_Haitian_presidential_election \"February 2016 Haitian presidential election\") were held by

held.[\\[23\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-23)\n\nOn 20 November 2016, a new election was held. A week later, election officials declared, based on preliminary results, that Moïse had won the election with 55.67% of the vote and an estimated voter turnout of 21%, beating 26 other candidates—four of whom claimed victory before the official results were announced.[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-auto-22)[\\[24\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-24)[\\[25\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-MH-25) Moïse secured the presidency without having to compete in a second-round election. In second, third and fourth place (respectively) were mechanical engineer Jude Célestin of [LAPEH](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/LAPEH \"LAPEH\") with 19.52%, leftist senator [Jean-Charles Moïse](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jean-Charles_Mo%C3%AFse \"Jean-Charles Moïse\") of the [Platfòm Pitit Dessalines](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Platf%C3%B2m_Pitit_Desalin \"Platfòm Pitit Desalin\") (PPD) with 11.04% and [Maryse Narcisse](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maryse_Narcisse \"Maryse Narcisse\") of [Fanmi Lavalas](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fanmi_Lavalas \"Fanmi Lavalas\") (FL) with 8.99%.[\\[26\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-26) Jovenel Moïse was sworn in on 7 February 2017 for a five-year term.[\\[27\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-27)\n\nPolitical opponents claimed that Moïse's five-year presidential term should have expired on 7 February 2021, five years after the conclusion of Michel Martelly's term following [the disputed 2015 election](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2015_Haitian_presidential_election \"2015 Haitian presidential election\"). Moïse, however, maintained that his term commenced with his official inauguration on 7 February 2017 and would therefore end in 2022.[\\[28\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-28)\n\nIn November 2019, Moïse met with U.S. Ambassador to the [United Nations](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_Nations \"United Nations\") [Kelly Craft](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kelly_Craft \"Kelly Craft\"), to discuss the methods necessary to resolve Haiti's political crisis through inclusive dialogue.[\\[29\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-29)[\\[30\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-auto1-30) Craft later met with several political leaders from other parties and urged an inclusive solution with Moïse.[\\[30\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-auto1-30)[\\[31\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-31)\n\n## Presidency\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&section=4 \"Edit section: Presidency\")\\]\n\n### Agriculture\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&section=5 \"Edit section: Agriculture\")\\]\n\nDuring his presidency, Moïse’s policies focused on agricultural and water infrastructure development in rural Haiti. In May 2021, he inaugurated the Marion [hydroelectric](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hydroelectric \"Hydroelectric\") dam in the Nord-Est department, which became the second-largest dam in the country.[\\[32\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-32) The project was intended to supply electricity and irrigation for approximately 10,000 hectares of farmland.

Moïse, alongside his family, relocated to Port-au-Prince in July 1974, where he attended primary school at the École Nationale Don Durélin , secondary school at Lycée Toussaint Louverture, and the Centre Culturel du Collège Canado-Haïtien . [ 8 ] Moïse pursued studies in political science at Quisqueya University with a particular focus on local governance and rural development. [ 9 ] In 1996, Moïse married Martine Marie Étienne Joseph , who was his classmate at the time. They left Port-au-Prince that year and settled in Port-de-Paix . After returning to rural Nord-Est, he advocated for rural development, proposing that Haiti address endemic poverty in part through an agrarian economy . [ 10 ] Jovenel and Martine Moïse had three children: Jomarlie Moïse, Jovenel Moïse Jr. , and Joverlein Moïse . [ 9 ] In the mid-1990s, Moïse established JoMar Auto Parts, a company that sold automobile components. The following year, he started an organic banana plantation of more than 10 hectares (25 acres) in Haiti's Nord-Ouest department . In 2001, he worked with Culligan Water , an American water treatment company, to set up potable water filtration plants in the Nord-Ouest and Nord-Est departments. By 2004, Moïse joined the Northwest Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCINO), later serving as its president. [ 11 ] In 2012, Moïse founded Agritrans SA to manage what was presented as Haiti's first agricultural free-trade zone, a 1,000-hectare (2,500-acre) banana plantation in the Nord-Est, known as the Nourribo Project . [ 12 ] The project aimed to export bananas to Germany , which would have marked Haiti's first banana exports to the country since 1954, but only two containers were ultimately shipped. [ 13 ] The Haitian government granted Agritrans tax-free access to land, a 15-year exemption from income tax and customs duties on capital equipment, [ 12 ] and a $6 million loan. Anonymous investors added at least $10 million. The company projected the creation of about 3,000 jobs, but by March 2015, only around 600 people had been employed. [ 14 ] Moïse with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2018 Moïse and other Caribbean leaders with U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida in 2019 US Ambassador to the UN Kelly Craft , and President Moïse in 2019 U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and President Moïse in 2020 In 2015, Haitian president Michel Martelly designated Moïse as the presidential candidate of the political party he had founded, the center-right Haitian Tèt Kale Party (PHTK). [ 15 ] In his campaign, Moïse promoted biodynamic agriculture as a way to support Haiti, whose population was over 50% rural. [ 16 ] In the first round of the 2015 Haitian presidential elections , held on 25 October 2015, Moïse officially received 32.8% of the votes, resulting in a runoff election in which Moïse would be running against the runner-up of the first round, Jude Célestin . [ 17 ] [ 18 ] However, an exit poll conducted by the Haiti Sentinel reflected that Moïse had only received about 6% of the vote, and Célestin called the results fraudulent. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] As a result, thousands of people took to the streets in violent protests, forcing the postponement of the runoff election. [ 21 ] In their wake, the 2015 ballot was ultimately annulled in June 2016. [ 17 ] [ 22 ] In February 2016, after President Michel Martelly's term ended, special elections were held by parliament and Jocelerme Privert was installed as interim president until new elections could be held. [ 23 ] On 20 November 2016, a new election was held. A week later, election officials declared, based on preliminary results, that Moïse had won the election with 55.67% of the vote and an estimated voter turnout of 21%, beating 26 other candidates—four of whom claimed victory before the official results were announced. [ 22 ] [ 24 ] [ 25 ] Moïse secured the presidency without having to compete in a second-round election. In second, third and fourth place (respectively) were mechanical engineer Jude Célestin of LAPEH with 19.52%, leftist senator Jean-Charles Moïse of the Platfòm Pitit Dessalines (PPD) with 11.04% and Maryse Narcisse of Fanmi Lavalas (FL) with 8.99%. [ 26 ] Jovenel Moïse was sworn in on 7 February 2017 for a five-year term. [ 27 ] Political opponents claimed that Moïse's five-year presidential term should have expired on 7 February 2021, five years after the conclusion of Michel Martelly's term following the disputed 2015 election . Moïse, however, maintained that his term commenced with his official inauguration on 7 February 2017 and would therefore end in 2022. [ 28 ] In November 2019, Moïse met with U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft , to discuss the methods necessary to resolve Haiti's political crisis through inclusive dialogue. [ 29 ] [ 30 ] Craft later met with several political leaders from other parties and urged an inclusive solution with Moïse. [ 30 ] [ 31 ] During his presidency, Moïse’s policies focused on agricultural and water infrastructure development in rural Haiti. In May 2021, he inaugurated the Marion hydroelectric dam in the Nord-Est department, which became the second-largest dam in the country. [ 32 ] The project was intended to supply electricity and irrigation for approximately 10,000 hectares of farmland. Moïse also supported the restoration of the Tannerie reservoir [ 33 ] and promoted the use of solar-powered pumping stations in the Artibonite region to boost rice cultivation. [ 34 ] [ 35 ] [ 36 ] Before his assassination, he had initiated efforts to divert water from the Dajabón River for agricultural use. [ 37 ] [ 38 ] [ 39 ] Other infrastructure [ edit ] Moïse’s infrastructure advancement was mainly focused in the two cities of Jeremie and Port-de-Paix, where he installed roads like the Carrefour Joffre/Anse-à-Foleur and the Carrefour Trois-Rivières. He also rebuilt the airport in Jérémie and constructed power plants to provide electricity to numerous small towns, including Jérémie and Port-de-Paix. [ 40 ] Asphalt plants in several provinces in Haiti, including in Gros Mornes , [ 41 ] Les Cayes , [ 42 ] and Trou-du-Nord, were built under Moïse’s rule. [ 43 ] Moïse received several allegations of corruption, including allegedly taking bribes for road-building projects and improperly awarding a contract to sell goats to the Haitian government. [ 44 ] These allegations, coupled with a declining quality of life for Haitian citizens throughout his administration, led to mass demonstrations that sought his resignation. 2015 presidential election [ edit ] As no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, a second round was mandated by law. However, this was repeatedly postponed and eventually cancelled, [ 46 ] with an interim president appointed indirectly by the legislature in the February 2016 Haitian presidential election and fresh elections scheduled for 2016. [ 47 ] November 2016 presidential election [ edit ] With more than 50% of votes cast, Moïse was elected in the first round. [ 46 ] Around 1:00 AM EDT (5:00 UTC) on 7 July 2021, 11 days after his 53rd birthday, Moïse was shot dead when gunmen attacked his residence in Pèlerin 5, a district of Pétion-Ville. [ 49 ] [ 50 ] [ 51 ] [ 52 ] His wife Martine, the first lady of Haiti , was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami to be treated for wounds sustained during the attack. [ 53 ] [ 54 ] [ 55 ] [ 56 ] Their three children were unharmed, as two hid successfully and one was not present. A press release issued later that day from the office of acting Prime Minister Claude Joseph blamed the attack on "a group of unidentified individuals, some of whom spoke in Spanish." On 10 July, Martine Moïse posted a statement on her Twitter account, urging Haitians not to let her late husband's contributions go to waste. In December 2021, The New York Times reported that Moïse's assassination might have been linked to his efforts to curb narcotics trafficking and publicly expose high-ranking Haitian officials involved in the drug trade. [ 57 ] Ariel Henry , who had been selected as the acting prime minister by Moïse shortly before his assassination, was later accused by several officials of being connected to Joseph Felix Badio, an alleged mastermind of the assassination, and being involved in the planning. [ 58 ] [ 59 ] Another of the alleged masterminds, Rodolphe Jaar, also stated that Henry was close to Badio and had protected him after the assassination. [ 60 ] Judge Garry Orélien, who was previously the top judicial official in Haiti overseeing the case, stated that Henry was friends with Badio and planned the assassination with him. [ 59 ] Henry resigned in 2024 following mass protests demanding that he abandon his de facto governance as head of state. On 20 February 2024, the Associated Press reported that Haiti's investigating judge had indicted several suspects in Moïse's murder, including his widow Martine, former acting prime minister Joseph, and former police chief Léon Charles. [ 61 ] The indictment was overturned on 13 October 2025 following an appeal. [ 62 ] Although some praised his proposed reforms, Moïse faced significant criticism during his presidency and following his assassination. He was widely accused of attempting to alter the constitution to consolidate government power and extend his presidency. [ 63 ] In 2019, he was accused of embezzlement in relation to an investigation into PetroCaribe funds. [ 64 ] Moise was denounced by human rights organization for criminalizing common forms of protest and creating an intelligence agency to provide surveillance of the political opposition. [ 65 ] A report by the International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard Law School found his government complicit in systematically employing violent gangs to suppress political demonstrations and opposition, including planning, executing and covering up of deadly massacres that amounted to crimes against humanity. The report stated that Moïse’s failure to stop or respond to attacks initiated by his subordinates may have made him liable for crimes against humanity. [ 66 ] Conversely, he also received commendation for his initiatives aimed at curbing corruption and his willingness to dismantle monopolies, as well as his efforts to challenge oligarchs and members of the Haitian elite. [ 67 ] Moïse receiving the Order of Brilliant Jade at a ceremony held by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in 2018 President Moïse and former President Michel Martelly, both affiliated with the same political party, encountered substantial opposition and criticism during their respective administrations, primarily in connection with corruption and alleged associations with influential Haitian gangs. [ 68 ] [ 69 ] [ 70 ] Moïse was awarded the Order of Brilliant Jade with Grand Cordon by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in May 2018. [ 71 ] [ 72 ] Tsai commended the economic initiatives undertaken by Moïse's government.

In December 2021, [The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times") reported that Moïse's assassination might have been linked to his efforts to curb narcotics trafficking and publicly expose high-ranking Haitian officials involved in the drug trade.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-NYT2-57) [Ariel Henry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Henry "Ariel Henry"), who had been selected as the acting prime minister by Moïse shortly before his assassination, was later accused by several officials of being connected to Joseph Felix Badio, an alleged mastermind of the assassination, and being involved in the planning.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-58)[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-planning-59) Another of the alleged masterminds, Rodolphe Jaar, also stated that Henry was close to Badio and had protected him after the assassination.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-60) Judge Garry Orélien, who was previously the top judicial official in Haiti overseeing the case, stated that Henry was friends with Badio and planned the assassination with him.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-planning-59) Henry resigned in 2024 following mass protests demanding that he abandon his de facto governance as head of state. On 20 February 2024, the [Associated Press](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press "Associated Press") reported that Haiti's investigating judge had indicted several suspects in Moïse's murder, including his widow Martine, former acting prime minister Joseph, and former police chief Léon Charles.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-61) The indictment was overturned on 13 October 2025 following an appeal.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-62) ## Legacy \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&section=12 "Edit section: Legacy")\] Although some praised his proposed reforms, Moïse faced significant criticism during his presidency and following his assassination. He was widely accused of attempting to alter the constitution to consolidate government power and extend his presidency.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-63) In 2019, he was accused of embezzlement in relation to an investigation into [PetroCaribe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrocaribe "Petrocaribe") funds.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-64) Moise was denounced by human rights organization for criminalizing common forms of protest and creating an intelligence agency to provide surveillance of the political opposition.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-65) A report by the [International Human Rights Clinic](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=International_Human_Rights_Clinic&action=edit&redlink=1 "International Human Rights Clinic (page does not exist)") at [Harvard Law School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Law_School "Harvard Law School") found his government complicit in systematically employing violent gangs to suppress political demonstrations and opposition, including planning, executing and covering up of deadly massacres that amounted to crimes against humanity. The report stated that Moïse’s failure to stop or respond to attacks initiated by his subordinates may have made him liable for crimes against humanity.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-66) Conversely, he also received commendation for his initiatives aimed at curbing [corruption](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Haiti "Corruption in Haiti") and his willingness to dismantle monopolies, as well as his efforts to challenge oligarchs and members of the Haitian elite.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-67) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/05.29_%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E4%BB%A5%E5%9C%8B%E5%AE%B4%E6%AC%BE%E5%BE%85%E6%B5%B7%E5%9C%B0%E5%85%B1%E5%92%8C%E5%9C%8B%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E6%91%A9%E4%BE%9D%E5%A3%AB%E4%BC%89%E5%84%B7%E6%9A%A8%E4%BA%92%E8%B4%88%E5%8B%B3%E7%AB%A0_%2841521865945%29.jpg/250px-05.29_%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E4%BB%A5%E5%9C%8B%E5%AE%B4%E6%AC%BE%E5%BE%85%E6%B5%B7%E5%9C%B0%E5%85%B1%E5%92%8C%E5%9C%8B%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E6%91%A9%E4%BE%9D%E5%A3%AB%E4%BC%89%E5%84%B7%E6%9A%A8%E4%BA%92%E8%B4%88%E5%8B%B3%E7%AB%A0_%2841521865945%29.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:05.29_%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E4%BB%A5%E5%9C%8B%E5%AE%B4%E6%AC%BE%E5%BE%85%E6%B5%B7%E5%9C%B0%E5%85%B1%E5%92%8C%E5%9C%8B%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E6%91%A9%E4%BE%9D%E5%A3%AB%E4%BC%89%E5%84%B7%E6%9A%A8%E4%BA%92%E8%B4%88%E5%8B%B3%E7%AB%A0_$41521865945$.jpg) Moïse receiving the [Order of Brilliant Jade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Brilliant_Jade "Order of Brilliant Jade") at a ceremony held by Taiwanese President [Tsai Ing-wen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsai_Ing-wen "Tsai Ing-wen") in 2018 President Moïse and former President Michel Martelly, both affiliated with the same political party, encountered substantial opposition and criticism during their respective administrations, primarily in connection with corruption and alleged associations with influential Haitian gangs.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-68)[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-69)[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-70) \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| [![\[icon\]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg) \| This section needs expansion.

Moïse's father, Étienne Moïse, was a farmer and a mechanic, while his mother, Lucia Bruno, was a [seamstress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressmaker "Dressmaker"). Moïse, alongside his family, relocated to [Port-au-Prince](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port-au-Prince "Port-au-Prince") in July 1974, where he attended primary school at the [École Nationale Don Durélin](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C3%89cole_Nationale_Don_Dur%C3%A9lin&action=edit&redlink=1 "École Nationale Don Durélin (page does not exist)"), secondary school at Lycée Toussaint Louverture, and the Centre Culturel du [Collège Canado-Haïtien](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coll%C3%A8ge_Canado-Ha%C3%AFtien "Collège Canado-Haïtien").[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-8) Moïse pursued studies in [political science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_science "Political science") at [Quisqueya University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quisqueya_University "Quisqueya University") with a particular focus on local governance and rural development.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-GuardianObit-9) In 1996, Moïse married [Martine Marie Étienne Joseph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martine_Mo%C3%AFse "Martine Moïse"), who was his classmate at the time. They left Port-au-Prince that year and settled in [Port-de-Paix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port-de-Paix "Port-de-Paix"). After returning to rural Nord-Est, he advocated for rural development, proposing that Haiti address endemic poverty in part through an [agrarian economy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrarian_economy "Agrarian economy").[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-10) Jovenel and Martine Moïse had three children: Jomarlie Moïse, [Jovenel Moïse Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse_Jr.&action=edit&redlink=1 "Jovenel Moïse Jr. (page does not exist)"), and [Joverlein Moïse](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joverlein_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&redlink=1 "Joverlein Moïse (page does not exist)").[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-GuardianObit-9) In the mid-1990s, Moïse established JoMar Auto Parts, a company that sold automobile components. The following year, he started an organic banana plantation of more than 10 hectares (25 acres) in Haiti's [Nord-Ouest department](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nord-Ouest_$department$ "Nord-Ouest (department)"). In 2001, he worked with [Culligan Water](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culligan "Culligan"), an American water treatment company, to set up potable water filtration plants in the Nord-Ouest and Nord-Est departments. By 2004, Moïse joined the Northwest Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCINO), later serving as its president.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-11) In 2012, Moïse founded Agritrans SA to manage what was presented as Haiti's first agricultural free-trade zone, a 1,000-hectare (2,500-acre) banana plantation in the Nord-Est, known as the Nourribo Project.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-haitilibre2013-12) The project aimed to export bananas to [Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany "Germany"), which would have marked Haiti's first banana exports to the country since 1954, but only two containers were ultimately shipped.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-13) The Haitian government granted Agritrans tax-free access to land, a 15-year exemption from income tax and customs duties on capital equipment,[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-haitilibre2013-12) and a \$6 million loan.

A week later, election officials declared, based on preliminary results, that Moïse had won the election with 55.67% of the vote and an estimated voter turnout of 21%, beating 26 other candidates—four of whom claimed victory before the official results were announced.[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-auto-22)[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-24)[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-MH-25) Moïse secured the presidency without having to compete in a second-round election.

Moïse, however, maintained that his term commenced with his official inauguration on 7 February 2017 and would therefore end in 2022.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-28) In November 2019, Moïse met with U.S. Ambassador to the [United Nations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations "United Nations") [Kelly Craft](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Craft "Kelly Craft"), to discuss the methods necessary to resolve Haiti's political crisis through inclusive dialogue.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-29)[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-auto1-30) Craft later met with several political leaders from other parties and urged an inclusive solution with Moïse.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-auto1-30)[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-31) During his presidency, Moïse’s policies focused on agricultural and water infrastructure development in rural Haiti.

Moïse also supported the restoration of the Tannerie reservoir[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-33) and promoted the use of solar-powered pumping stations in the [Artibonite region](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artibonite_$department$ "Artibonite (department)") to boost rice cultivation.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-34)[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-35)[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-36) Before his assassination, he had initiated efforts to divert water from the [Dajabón River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dajab%C3%B3n_River "Dajabón River") for agricultural use.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-37)[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-38)[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-39) ### Other infrastructure \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Other infrastructure")\] Moïse’s infrastructure advancement was mainly focused in the two cities of Jeremie and Port-de-Paix, where he installed roads like the Carrefour Joffre/Anse-à-Foleur and the Carrefour Trois-Rivières. He also rebuilt the airport in Jérémie and constructed power plants to provide electricity to numerous small towns, including Jérémie and Port-de-Paix.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-40) Asphalt plants in several provinces in Haiti, including in [Gros Mornes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gros-Morne,_Haiti "Gros-Morne, Haiti"),[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-41) [Les Cayes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Cayes "Les Cayes"),[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-42) and Trou-du-Nord, were built under Moïse’s rule.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-43) Moïse received several allegations of corruption, including allegedly taking bribes for road-building projects and improperly awarding a contract to sell goats to the Haitian government.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-44) These allegations, coupled with a declining quality of life for Haitian citizens throughout his administration, led to mass demonstrations that sought his resignation. ### 2015 presidential election \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: 2015 presidential election")\] As no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, a second round was mandated by law. However, this was repeatedly postponed and eventually cancelled,[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-:1-46) with an interim president appointed indirectly by the legislature in the [February 2016 Haitian presidential election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_2016_Haitian_presidential_election "February 2016 Haitian presidential election") and fresh elections scheduled for 2016.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-47) ### November 2016 presidential election \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: November 2016 presidential election")\] With more than 50% of votes cast, Moïse was elected in the first round.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-:1-46) Around 1:00 AM EDT (5:00 UTC) on 7 July 2021, 11 days after his 53rd birthday, Moïse was shot dead when gunmen attacked his residence in Pèlerin 5, a district of Pétion-Ville.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-49)[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-50)[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-51)[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-52) His wife Martine, the [first lady of Haiti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Ladies_and_Gentlemen_of_Haiti "First Ladies and Gentlemen of Haiti"), was [airlifted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airlift "Airlift") to [Jackson Memorial Hospital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Memorial_Hospital "Jackson Memorial Hospital") in Miami to be treated for wounds sustained during the attack.[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-53)[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-54)[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-55)[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-56) Their three children were unharmed, as two hid successfully and one was not present. A press release issued later that day from the office of acting Prime Minister [Claude Joseph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Joseph "Claude Joseph") blamed the attack on "a group of unidentified individuals, some of whom spoke in Spanish." On 10 July, Martine Moïse posted a statement on her Twitter account, urging Haitians not to let her late husband's contributions go to waste. In December 2021, [The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times") reported that Moïse's assassination might have been linked to his efforts to curb narcotics trafficking and publicly expose high-ranking Haitian officials involved in the drug trade.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-NYT2-57) [Ariel Henry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Henry "Ariel Henry"), who had been selected as the acting prime minister by Moïse shortly before his assassination, was later accused by several officials of being connected to Joseph Felix Badio, an alleged mastermind of the assassination, and being involved in the planning.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-58)[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-planning-59) Another of the alleged masterminds, Rodolphe Jaar, also stated that Henry was close to Badio and had protected him after the assassination.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-60) Judge Garry Orélien, who was previously the top judicial official in Haiti overseeing the case, stated that Henry was friends with Badio and planned the assassination with him.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-planning-59) Henry resigned in 2024 following mass protests demanding that he abandon his de facto governance as head of state. On 20 February 2024, the [Associated Press](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press "Associated Press") reported that Haiti's investigating judge had indicted several suspects in Moïse's murder, including his widow Martine, former acting prime minister Joseph, and former police chief Léon Charles.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-61) The indictment was overturned on 13 October 2025 following an appeal.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-62) Although some praised his proposed reforms, Moïse faced significant criticism during his presidency and following his assassination. He was widely accused of attempting to alter the constitution to consolidate government power and extend his presidency.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-63) In 2019, he was accused of embezzlement in relation to an investigation into [PetroCaribe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrocaribe "Petrocaribe") funds.[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-64) Moise was denounced by human rights organization for criminalizing common forms of protest and creating an intelligence agency to provide surveillance of the political opposition.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-65) A report by the [International Human Rights Clinic](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=International_Human_Rights_Clinic&action=edit&redlink=1 "International Human Rights Clinic (page does not exist)") at [Harvard Law School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Law_School "Harvard Law School") found his government complicit in systematically employing violent gangs to suppress political demonstrations and opposition, including planning, executing and covering up of deadly massacres that amounted to crimes against humanity. The report stated that Moïse’s failure to stop or respond to attacks initiated by his subordinates may have made him liable for crimes against humanity.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-66) Conversely, he also received commendation for his initiatives aimed at curbing [corruption](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Haiti "Corruption in Haiti") and his willingness to dismantle monopolies, as well as his efforts to challenge oligarchs and members of the Haitian elite.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-67) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/05.29_%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E4%BB%A5%E5%9C%8B%E5%AE%B4%E6%AC%BE%E5%BE%85%E6%B5%B7%E5%9C%B0%E5%85%B1%E5%92%8C%E5%9C%8B%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E6%91%A9%E4%BE%9D%E5%A3%AB%E4%BC%89%E5%84%B7%E6%9A%A8%E4%BA%92%E8%B4%88%E5%8B%B3%E7%AB%A0_%2841521865945%29.jpg/250px-05.29_%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E4%BB%A5%E5%9C%8B%E5%AE%B4%E6%AC%BE%E5%BE%85%E6%B5%B7%E5%9C%B0%E5%85%B1%E5%92%8C%E5%9C%8B%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E6%91%A9%E4%BE%9D%E5%A3%AB%E4%BC%89%E5%84%B7%E6%9A%A8%E4%BA%92%E8%B4%88%E5%8B%B3%E7%AB%A0_%2841521865945%29.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:05.29_%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E4%BB%A5%E5%9C%8B%E5%AE%B4%E6%AC%BE%E5%BE%85%E6%B5%B7%E5%9C%B0%E5%85%B1%E5%92%8C%E5%9C%8B%E7%B8%BD%E7%B5%B1%E6%91%A9%E4%BE%9D%E5%A3%AB%E4%BC%89%E5%84%B7%E6%9A%A8%E4%BA%92%E8%B4%88%E5%8B%B3%E7%AB%A0_$41521865945$.jpg) Moïse receiving the [Order of Brilliant Jade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Brilliant_Jade "Order of Brilliant Jade") at a ceremony held by Taiwanese President [Tsai Ing-wen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsai_Ing-wen "Tsai Ing-wen") in 2018 President Moïse and former President Michel Martelly, both affiliated with the same political party, encountered substantial opposition and criticism during their respective administrations, primarily in connection with corruption and alleged associations with influential Haitian gangs.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-68)[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-69)[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-70) Moïse was awarded the [Order of Brilliant Jade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Brilliant_Jade "Order of Brilliant Jade") with Grand Cordon by Taiwanese President [Tsai Ing-wen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsai_Ing-wen "Tsai Ing-wen") in May 2018.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-71)[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-72) Tsai commended the economic initiatives undertaken by Moïse's government.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse#cite_note-73) - [List of assassinated and executed heads of state and government](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinated_and_executed_heads_of_state_and_government "List of assassinated and executed heads of state and government") - [List of heads of state and government who died in office](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_heads_of_state_and_government_who_died_in_office "List of heads of state and government who died in office") - [Vilbrun Guillaume Sam](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilbrun_Guillaume_Sam "Vilbrun Guillaume Sam"), another Haitian president who was assassinated (1915) 1.
