PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Haiti's general election, which had been scheduled for Nov. 7, has been postponed after Prime Minister Ariel Henry dismissed the council that organizes elections, which many in the country had felt was too partisan.

Henry promised to appoint a new electoral council (CEP) that he said would be non-partisan and would set a new date for elections.
