In an interview with BBC News, Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille expressed significant concerns about the possibility of organizing elections in the country before the deadline of February 7, 2026. This statement marks a turning point in his government’s primary mission, which is to restore security in order to enable free and transparent elections.
Conille, visibly frustrated, pointed to the unfulfilled promises of the United States and the slow delivery of security materials by Haiti’s allied countries. “We are facing a lack of tangible support from the international community, which makes it extremely difficult to meet the deadlines set for the elections,” he stated.
This situation has sparked strong criticism from his detractors, who believe that if Garry Conille’s government fails to meet a deadline that was known well before his appointment, his legitimacy as the head of the country is called into question. For many, the Prime Minister’s ability to manage the security crisis and lead Haiti towards elections will determine his political future.
Garry Conille’s mission, from the moment he took office, was to restore security in a country plagued by endemic violence, a condition that is essential for holding credible elections. However, both internal and external obstacles appear to complicate the task for his administration, which is struggling to progress on this challenging path.
