Haiti transition council names former senate leader as president

- Haiti
Haiti's transition council on Tuesday named Edgard Leblanc, the former senate president, to head the body instated last week as it seeks to bring security back to the violence-wracked Caribbean nation.
In a ceremony, the council - formed by seven voting members including Leblanc and two non-voting observers - also named Fritz Belizaire, former youth and sports minister, to be prime minister.
Michel Patrick Boisvert, who served as finance minister under former Prime Minister Ariel Henry, has been filling the role on an interim basis.
