A political campaign ahead of presidential and parliamentary elections has formally gotten underway in Haiti. But its amid doubts the vote set for next month will take place as scheduled.
The official electoral calendar calls for the first round of the votes to be held on November 20.
Many local politicians expressed doubt the national election council will be able to overcome what they call "major technical problems" in time for the vote.
Council president Max Mathurin has indicated the calendar could be adjusted. Thirty-four candidates, including one woman, will be contesting the presidential post.
