Evans Paul

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - According to sources, the President of the Republic of Haiti, Michel Joseph Martely, will appoint former Mayor of Port-au-Prince, Evans Paul as Prime Minister .

Sources close to the National Palace stated Signal FM that the leader of the Democratic Convention Unit was approached and now the head of Alternativ political party is rumored to be receiving a proposal.

Information reported, claimed that Evans Paul and Thierry Mayard-Paul, the current Chief of Staff to President Michel Martelly, were best placed to be appointed prime minister, but Mayard-Paul expressed his disinterest on Tuesday, saying he prefers to remain Chief of Staff.

"No, I'm not interested, it's official. I am the head of the Office of President Martelly and I remain in this position, "said Thierry Paul Mayard.

HPN wanted to confirm the information circulating in political circles Monday that the son of the late Mr. Constantin Mayard Paul would be appointed.

Senator Joseph Lambert, believes President Martely's interest is to choose a personality capable of inspiring confidence.

MPs believe that the president has taken too long to restart consultations to appoint a new prime minister. Until Wednesday, the presidents of both chambers were not consulted on the choice of a personality.

From Wikipedia:
Evans Paul, called K-plimo, is a Haitian politician and former president of the Democratic United Committee (Komite inite Demokratik, KID). He was elected mayor of Port-au-Prince in the 1990 elections that brought Jean-Bertrand Aristide's National Front for Change and Democracy party to power. He made an unsuccessful run for President of Haiti in the 2006 elections under the Democratic Alliance Party banner.[1][2] He was leader of the Convergence Démocratique prior to the 2004 Haitian rebellion which overthrew Aristide.[3]

Maybe this is the prime minister that will make it through a critical parliament, as he seems to have more balance with the alternative party.
