Haiti Sets December 13 for Presidential Elections

Haiti's electoral council has set new dates for the country's presidential and general elections.

The first round will be on December 13, and the second round, along with local elections, will be on February 21.

These elections have been delayed due to the worsening security situation in the country, which is facing conflicts with powerful armed gangs.

The government believes it is important to hold the elections to restore democratic order, while opposition groups argue that the elections should be postponed until security improves and proper preparations are made.

The United Nations has expressed concern about the humanitarian situation in Haiti, with nearly 1.5 million people displaced and over five million facing severe food insecurity.
