Another error. If selected, Michele Pierre-Louis would be the second female PM in Haiti’s history, not the first. The first was Claudette Werleigh who was Prime Minister in 1995.

My apologies, Alice B: that was an oversight on my part. Sorry for the inaccuracy.

Just so you know, Ms. Pierre-Louis was nominated for the position of Prime Minister, not President. In Haiti the President is elected by popular vote and then nominates a Prime Minister.
