🆕 What will it take to ensure credible, secure elections in #Haiti?
#NDI’s Johannes Hamels, @ChrisSabatini of @ChathamHouse & Alexandra Farsari examine why establishing the right conditions matters more than rushing to set an election date.
Read the latest policy paper ⬇️ #NDImpact
In early October 2026, Haiti announced the postponement of campaigning for presidential and parliamentary elections expected on 13 December — with no new election dates confirmed.
@ChrisSabatini argues in our latest policy paper that elections held too soon – and under current security conditions – could add further to the instability in Haiti.

The Ortega-Murillo regime is repressing Nicaraguans at home and abroad. It’s also undermined stability across the Western Hemisphere by strengthening ties with authoritarian governments from Cuba and Venezuela to Russia and China.
This week, NED VP for Policy and Government Affairs Eddy Acevedo and @NDI Regional Director for Latin America and Caribbean Programs Deborah Ullmer testified before the @SenateForeign Relations Committee. They underscored the importance of continued U.S. support for Nicaraguans working to advance freedom and democracy in their country.
