Haiti’s prime minister said he plans to hold a referendum to modify the country’s constitution by February, and he hopes to organise presidential and legislative elections early next year.

Ariel Henry dismissed opponents who accuse him of wanting to stay in power and said that mistrust is one of the biggest challenges he faces.
