Haiti's government has established a provisional electoral council aimed at preparing the nation for its first general elections since 2016, amidst ongoing political turmoil.
Smith Augustin mentioned that the remaining members of the electoral council, crucial for establishing a legal framework for the elections, will likely be announced in the coming days.
The situation in Haiti worsened following President Jovenel Moise's assassination in 2021, leading to a power vacuum and armed gangs controlling 80 percent of Port-au-Prince.
An international peacekeeping mission involving forces from Kenya and Jamaica has been deployed to counter gang violence, although the mandate is set to expire soon.
