HAVANA (Reuters) - Haiti's senate, which currently comprises just a third of its usual 30 senators, nominated on Friday its head Joseph Lambert to be interim President after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, a document reviewed by Reuters showed.

The acting interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph has taken over the reins of power so far. Elections Minister Mathias Pierre said he would keep that role until Presidential and legislative elections are held on Sept. 26.
