Haiti’s newly installed transitional council has chosen the country’s new Prime Minister.
Fritz Bélizaire was chosen in to replace current interim Prime Minister Michel Patrick Boisvert as the council works to establish a new stable government amid gang violence in country.
He gained the support of four of the seven voting members on the nine-member panel, but other panel members said they were unfamiliar with Bélizaire.
AP News said he is a little-known former sports minister.
The news agency also noted that the gang violence has led to more than 90,000 people fleeing the capital in the span of one month, and overall, more than 360,000 people being left homeless in recent years.
