Parlaying his former work as a political activist to higher heights, including his stint as the mayor of Port-au-Prince, Evans Paul has been named as Haiti's new Prime Minister. Haitian President Michel Martelly named Paul his new Prime Minister following the forced resignation of Laurent Lamothe, and a brief run by the minister of health as acting prime minister. President Michel Martelly will, it is widely thought, put pressure on the lawmakers to conform to his choice of Paul. A Senator said recently that they have not yet been called by the president for this purpose.

Martelly Nominates Evans Paul for Prime Minister

Evans Paul, former Port-au-Prince mayor, has been nominated by President Martelly as Haiti's next prime minister. Paul has assumed roles as ex-president of the Democratic United Committee and head of the Convergence Democratique party. In 2006 he made a failed bid for the Haitian presidency.

In 1989 Paul, under Prosper Avril's orders, was subjected to inhumane treatment by the Haitian military while imprisoned. He sued Avril, winning a $20 million settlement, but never got payment from Avril, who disappeared.
