Haiti: Regime schedules December presidential election despite security concerns

Source: France 24 [French state media]

“Haiti’s CEP ​electoral council on Monday scheduled the first presidential elections in a decade for December with a ​runoff in February, after plans to hold the vote in August with a December runoff were postponed over security concerns. Haiti has not held elections since 2016. Its last president, Jovenel Moise, ​was assassinated ‌in 2021, after delaying a vote. Successive governments have been ⁠tasked with holding an election but said insecurity amid a conflict with powerful armed gangs made it impossible.” (07/27/26)
