After more than two months without an elected leader, Haitians will go to the polls in April to choose a new President.

A disputed run-off election in January was postponed due to violence and an interim President was elected last month in line with an agreement aimed at avoiding a leadership vacuum.

Cristina Silveiro asked Ms Honore what her expectations were for the upcoming vote.
