            Veteran Politician Picked as Haiti's New Prime Minister

   by VOA News

   Haitian President Michel Martelly has picked veteran politician and
   former mayor of Port-au-Prince Evans Paul to be the next prime
   minister.

   If approved, Paul would take over from Florence Duperval Guillaume, who
   was named interim prime minister on Sunday as a temporary replacement
   for Laurent Lamothe.

   Lamothe was forced to resign earlier this month following several weeks
   of protests.

   Lamothe was Haiti's longest serving prime minister, holding office for
   31 months. A presidential commission had called for his resignation to
   resolve an ongoing stalemate over legislative elections that sparked
   violent protests in the capital.
