Haitian Business Associations Urge Credible Elections to End 'Open-Ended Transition'
The ADIH, CCI-Haiti, CCIHC and the Macaya Institute called for a credible, inclusive and secure electoral process, according to Le Nouvelliste.
Four Haitian private-sector organizations have called for credible elections to bring an end to what they described as an "open-ended transition," according to Le Nouvelliste. In a press note titled "For a credible, inclusive and secure electoral process," dated September 22, 2026, the Association des industries d'Haïti (ADIH), the CCI-Haiti, the CCIHC and the Macaya Institute stated that "after years of provisional governance, the return to constitutional order can no longer accommodate elections lacking credibility any more than a transition without a deadline." The signatories highlighted "concerns surrounding the electoral process," the outlet reported. The associations said the private sector supports holding elections as soon as possible, according to the note cited by Le Nouvelliste. The statement comes amid broader discussion of Haiti's electoral preparations; a related Le Nouvelliste report noted more than 628,000 registered voters for 1,285 voting centers. Further details of the press note were not available in the published excerpts. The organizations did not, in the cited text, specify a timeline or additional conditions beyond calling for a process that is credible, inclusive and secure.
