HAITI: CEP sets new date for elections
Last month Léopold Berlanger, the president of Haiti’s provisional electoral council (CEP) unveiled the new electoral calendar for the country’s delayed presidential, partial legislative, and local elections. The announcement ends speculation following Berlanger’s announcement on 5 October that the elections scheduled for 9 October had been postponed due to the devastation left by hurricane ‘Matthew’ which struck Haiti the previous day [RC-16-10]. While the new timeframe has been broadly welcomed, a leaked internal report by the Organisation of American States (OAS) Electoral Observation Mission dated 11 October has left doubts as to how far the new date is realistic.
