Haiti Prime Minister Garry Conille
Haiti's new Prime Minister, Garry Conille, has vowed to seek unity, in his first statement since being selected to head the government.
Conille thanked the civil society groups, political parties and members of the Haitian diaspora who proposed him as a candidate, saying he was "very honored" to have been chosen.
He now faces a monumental task, with Haiti under siege by gangs that control at least 80 per cent of the Port-au-Prince capital as the country awaits the UN-backed deployment of a police force from Kenya.
The prime minister shares executive power with the presidency, which has been vacant in Haiti since the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, whose death left a power vacuum that criminal gangs have exploited.
