Haiti’s newly-installed interim PM in hospital

Haiti’s new interim prime minister, Garry Conille, has been admitted to hospital with respiratory issues, after taking office in the troubled country just over a week ago.

Conille, 58, was rushed to hospital in Port-au-Prince after suffering breathing problems, local news outlets said.

Radio Metronome reported that Conille’s condition was stable.

Conille briefly led the country over a decade ago, and was most recently a former regional director at UN children’s agency UNICEF.

He was named interim prime minister on May 29 by a transition council with the mandate to restore stability and take back control from violent gangs.

The transition council aims to hold elections before February 7, 2026, as ***** out in Haiti’s constitution, after a series of crises in the country’s leadership.

President Jovenel Moise was assassinated in 2021, leaving Haiti to this day without a president, while Prime Minister Ariel Henry resigned in March this year after he left Haiti to seek support for a Kenyan security mission and was unable to re-enter the country amid gang warfare and riots.
