PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) – Haiti’s transitional council president Leslie Voltaire said in an interview on Wednesday with TV5 Monde that a date for the Caribbean nation’s long-awaited general elections has been fixed for around Nov. 15 of this year.
Haiti has lacked elected representatives since January 2023 and has not held elections since 2016. The country’s capital is almost entirely controlled by armed gangs, and leaders have said security must first be established to hold a free and fair vote.
