Réné Préval was the President of Haiti in 2000.

Préval was an ally of the first elected president, Jean Baptiste Aristide, and was made Prime Minister of Haiti in 1991 from February 13 to October 11. However, this administration was short lived and quickly overthrown by military coup. Aristide was eventually allowed to return after deal-brokering with the US. However, Haiti's constitution forbid immediate re-election of president, so Réné Préval was made his party's candidate.

Préval was elected the 41st President of Haiti and the 2nd democratically elected president of Haiti in 1996. He served from 1996 February 7 to 2001 February 7. As Haiti's laws forbid immediate re-election, Jean-Bertand Aristide returned to power in the 2000 late November election. However, Aristide was forced into exile in 2004 and Boniface Alexandre stepped in as provisional president. In 2006 Préval once again took the presidency as the 43rd president on 2006 May 14 for a second and final 5-year term ending on 2011 May 14.
