- Source: 45th Legislature of the Haitian Parliament
The 45th Legislature of the Haitian Parliament was in office from 4 February 1991 to 4 February 1995.
Elections
Following the June 1988 military-led coup d'état, the newly-formed 44th Legislature was dissolved. Legislative activity was further delayed by the September 1988 coup and ongoing military rule. After the departures of Generals Namphy and Avril, General Hérard Abraham organized elections for president and Parliament in two rounds of elections on 16 December 1990 and 20 January 1991, alongside the presidential election. Jean-Bertrand Aristide's National Front for Change and Democracy (FCND) won the parliamentary elections, with a voter turnout of 50.8%.
The 45th Legislature's work was disrupted by a military coup eight months after the elections, which overthrew Aristide. Additional partial Senate elections were held in Haiti on 18 January 1993 to elect one-third of the 27-member Senate, alongside by-elections for one seat in the Senate and three seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
These 1993 elections, conducted under the rule of Raoul Cédras (who had overthrown the democratically elected government in the 1991 coup) and overseen by Marc Bazin, were declared illegitimate by the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States. The elected members were generally supportive of the coup.
On 2 March 1993, police and soldiers entered Parliament in an attempt to remove 13 parliamentarians elected in 1990 to make way for the newly elected members. The presence of the 1993-elected members posed an additional obstacle to negotiations for returning to civilian rule; however, it was eventually agreed that they would not take their seats.
Legislative activity largely continued with the return of Aristide and civilian rule in October 1994.
