Port-au-Prince - Haiti's parliament has rejected the intended new prime minister Ericq Pierre. His nomination was approved by the Senate, but he failed to win sufficient support in the House of Representatives. President René Preval will now have to look for a new candidate. Haiti has been without a prime minister since Jacques Edouard Alexis resigned last month, following violent protests against high food prices in which six people were killed.
