While many doubt the creation of the council will help the government hold elections this year as envisioned, Prime Minister Ariel Henry said it was a significant step toward that goal, according to AP.
“It is the beginning of the end of the dysfunction of our democratic institutions,” he said.
Haiti has failed to hold elections since the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Henry assumed power shortly after Moïse’s death, and promised that his administration would do so.
