Haiti's newly selected prime minister, Garry Conille, was hospitalized late Saturday in the capital of Port-au-Prince just days after arriving in the country, his office announced.
It wasn't immediately known why Conille was hospitalized.
In a statement posted to social media Saturday night, the prime minister's office said that Conille was taken to a hospital Saturday afternoon after feeling unwell following a week of "intense activities," describing him as being in stable condition.
Louis Gérald Gilles, a member of the transitional presidential council that recently chose Conille as leader of the troubled Caribbean country, told the Associated Press he was at the hospital, but did not have further information.
