In a speech, Michel Martelly said his biggest regret was that January’s presidential election had been postponed.
The runoff vote to elect Michel Martelly’s successor was shelved because of fears of violence and allegations of fraud.
It will now be held on April 24, with a new president due to be sworn in on May 14.

Jude Celestin accused the electoral authorities of favoring Jovenel Moise and threatened to pull out of the runoff vote.
PM Evans Paul – who is due to remain in his post until parliament agrees his replacement – has appealed for calm.
