Haiti’s designated prime minister Ariel Henry will replace the country’s interim prime minister to honour the wishes of the country’s murdered president, an official said.

It was not immediately clear how quickly interim prime minister Claude Joseph, who has been leading Haiti with the backing of police and the military since the July 7 assassination of President Jovenel Moise, would step down.
