Haiti's transition council just pushed through an electoral law that's supposed to get presidential voting back on track after almost a decade without one. The nine-member group approved the framework despite three voting members skipping out, and observers think those no-shows were trying to tank the whole thing to stay in power longer and boot the current prime minister.
The country hasn't had a presidential election since 2016, when Jovenel Moïse won before getting assassinated at his house. The new law still needs to get published in the official gazette before anything can move forward, but analysts are saying this doesn't actually fix the security nightmare or make elections realistic anytime soon.
