Caribbean leaders say Haiti's unelected leader has agreed to hold elections next year

EMBATTLED Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has agreed to hold general elections by mid-2025, Caribbean leaders said on Wednesday night.

Members of the Caricom regional trade bloc issued a statement at the end of a four-day summit in Guyana, saying that Mr Henry had agreed on the need to hold elections and work with the opposition and civil society groups to achieve that goal.

They said that all stakeholders in Haitian society would have to make concessions to allow elections and a restoration of democracy to take place.
