Evans Paul (born 26 November 1955), also known as Compère Plume;[1] shortened as K-Plume (KP),[2][3] is a Haitian politician and former president of the Democratic United Committee. He was elected mayor of Port-au-Prince in the 1990 elections that brought Jean-Bertrand Aristide's National Front for Change and Democracy party to power, and he served as a campaign manager for a time during Aristide's 1990 campaign.[4] He made an unsuccessful run for President of Haiti in the 2006 elections under the Democratic Alliance Party banner.[5][6] On December 25, 2014, President Michel Martelly announced Evans Paul as Haiti's new prime minister.[7][8] On February 2, 2016, he resigned. He remained in his position due to an agreement signed on 6 February, until a prime minister could be reached by consensus and an interim president could be elected by Parliament for a 120-day term.[9]
He used to host the program "Plume" on Radio Caraïbes from 1974 to 1976, from where he got his nickname.[3] From 1977 to 1980, he hosted Konbit Pitit Kay on Radio Cacique.[4]
