Joseph Mécène, Dean of the Court of Cassation of Haiti, has represented the opposition since February 7, when he was named the head of a transitional government, also parallel to the Moïse administration.
The interim president appointed by Haitian opposition Joseph Mécène pledged on Thursday to hold "honest and credible elections" during his mandate. This as president Jovenel Moïse refuses to leave despite widespread social unrest.

Mécène, Dean of the Court of Cassation of Haiti, had represented the opposition since February 7, when he was named the head of a transitional government, parallel to the Moïse administration. His designation was the latest move to pressure Moïse to resign while he insists on clinging to power until 2022.
On the other hand, the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti said that it supports an electoral process, but dialogue must be held between all parties. If the opposition plans move forward, constitutional reform will occur in April and the general election in September 2021.
