Port-au-Prince, Haiti ? Haiti’s president appointed a coalition government Tuesday in an effort to unite the impoverished nation two years after a bloody revolt toppled the last elected president.

The new government includes members of six political parties, underscoring President Rene Preval’s need to bring together Haiti’s bitterly divided political factions. The two houses of Parliament were expected to confirm the Cabinet appointments in separate votes within a day.

Haiti’s powerful business community and large network of grassroots organizations offered no immediate reaction to the new government, which was announced after days of intense negotiations with Parliament, where no party holds a majority.

Prime Minister Jacques-Edouard Alexis said the government would embark on a 25-year development plan, including boosting access to public services for Haiti’s poor, reinforcing the country’s brittle state institutions and attracting private investment.
