Haiti's Path to Elections Blocked by Overwhelming Gang Violence

EM

4 days ago7 min read

Haiti's planned presidential elections, the first since 2016, face almost certain cancellation as a catastrophic security crisis overwhelms the nation. The Haitian Transitional Presidential Council (TPC), a nine-member governing body, has been unable to curb the powerful gangs that now dominate Port-au-Prince.The capital's streets, which would typically host political rallies, are instead empty and controlled by armed groups, making the logistical requirements for a vote unfeasible. Essential electoral infrastructure, including potential polling stations and government offices, has been destroyed, seized, or is situated in no-go zones.With millions of citizens displaced and struggling for basic survival, the immediate concerns of safety, food, and water have eclipsed any possibility of civic participation. This impending failure to hold a vote signals a deeper collapse of governance, rooted in a history of political instability and external interference. As the international community stands by with limited solutions, Haiti risks descending further into a prolonged humanitarian disaster, threatening regional security and pushing the Haitian people to the brink.
