Henry alichukua nafasi hiyo mwaka 2021 baada ya Rais Jovenel Moise kuuawa ndani ya makazi yake Julai 7, 2021 na kuahidi kuirejesha nchi hiyo kwenye hali ya usalama kutoka katika vurugu zilizodumu kwa muda mrefu.
Katika ziara yake nchini Kenya, Henry aliingia makubaliano ya kupokea Askari wa kulinda amani, jambo lililoamsha vurugu zaidi kutoka kwa makundi ya Uhalifu ya Haiti ambapo makundi hayo yalitoa shinikizo la kumtaka ajiuzulu haraka.
Wakati huo huo, Waziri wa Mambo ya Ndani wa Kenya, Kithure Kindiki amesema mpango wa kupeleka Askari 1,000 nchini Haiti uko katika hatua za mwisho.

Haiti's Prime Minister Ariel Henry has agreed to resign amid surging violence in the Caribbean country, the chair of the Caribbean Community said Monday.
Henry said he will step down once a transitional presidential council is created and an interim premier named. He had held the position, unelected, since the 2021 assassination of the previous president, Jovenel Moise.
"We acknowledge his resignation upon the establishment of a transitional presidential council and naming of an interim prime minister," said Caribbean Community chair Irfaan Ali, also the president of Guyana. Ali thanked Henry for his service to Haiti.
A seven-member presidential council will be formed for the transition to elections in Haiti, which will appoint a new interim prime minister, Ali said late on Monday.
Henry is currently stranded in the US territory of Puerto Rico, following his trip to Kenya last week to lobby for UN-backed police to be deployed in his country.
