CBC.bb: "Haiti's latest candidate for prime minister, Michele Pierre-Louis, has cleared another hurdle to secure the job, with the lower house of parliament ratifying her nomination for the post.
Pierre-Louis, 61, was given the nod by the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday with a 61-1 vote. Twenty of the deputies abstained from the vote.
The executive director of the cultural and educational institution Foundation for Knowledge and Liberty (FOKAL) must now receive the approval of the Senate, expected to meet next week, to take up the position.
The Office of Prime Minister has been vacant since April 12, when former leader Jacques-Edouard Alexis was ousted amid riots over skyrocketing food prices."
