Haiti to hold first election in nearly 10 years in December

However, the election can be held depending on "an acceptable security environment being created and the necessary financial resources being available," the election board wrote in a statement.

In addition to presidential and local elections, there will also be a vote on amendments to the constitution.

The crisis-stricken country has not held elections since 2016, and the last elected president, Jovenel Moise, was assassinated in 2021. Armed gangs still control large parts of the country.
