A member of Haiti’s transitional presidential council announced Friday that a majority of the panel has voted to fire the country’s embattled Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé as the country's political chaos deepens.

Edgard Leblanc Fils made the announcement at a news conference alongside fellow council member Leslie Voltaire, defying U.S. government calls to maintain stability in the country's leadership.

Leblanc said the council would replace Fils-Aimé within 30 days.
