Elections : Important meeting of stakeholders involved in the electoral process

On November 11, 2025, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé convened a pivotal high-level meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office in Haiti, bringing together national and international stakeholders to accelerate the electoral process. The gathering aimed to enhance consultation, foster coordination, and reaffirm the government’s commitment to credible, inclusive, and sovereign elections. Attendees included Cabinet members, representatives from the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), the Haitian National Police (PNH), the Armed Forces of Haiti (FAd’H), and international partners. Carlos Ruiz Massieu, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative in Haiti, confirmed the UN’s technical and logistical support, emphasizing efforts to restore democratic institutions. Prime Minister Fils-Aimé stressed the importance of transparent collaboration between national and international entities to ensure free and fair elections. Discussions covered security, logistical, and technical aspects, while laying the groundwork for the Sectoral and Donors’ Roundtables, crucial for mobilizing resources. The Haitian government has already contributed $70 million to election financing since 2021, with an additional 3 billion gourdes allocated in the 2025-2026 budget. A capacity-building program for political parties has also been launched, with over 225 parties registered. The CEP is finalizing the electoral decree and calendar, expected by late November. Fils-Aimé praised the collaborative spirit but underscored that the process’s success hinges on the Haitian people’s mobilization.
