Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry, promising to do “everything in my power” to bring to justice those responsible for the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July last year, has also indicated “there will not be a new president on February 7”.
Henry met on Tuesday evening with eight of the ten senators at the invitation of the Bureau of the Senate to discuss the current situation and the priorities, such as the restoration of security and the organisation of elections in the French-speaking CARICOM country.
“We are at a crossroads where we must continue to work together to pacify the country. At the same time, the security forces are working to fight against banditry,” Henry said.
He told the senators that the holding of elections is a constitutional prerogative, adding “we cannot wait to renew the political personnel.
