Fils-Aimé is the former president of Haiti's Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The transitionary council was established in April in an attempt to establish stability in the government after gangs took over the nation's capital of Port Au Prince in March.

Haiti will name entrepreneur and former senate candidate Alix Didier Fils-Aime to replace Prime Minister Garry Conille, who was tapped for the role in May, according to a transitional presidential council draft resolution seen by Reuters.

Haiti replaces prime minister, marking more turmoil in its democratic transition.
