A date of October 9 has been set for polls to elect a new president after the results of last year's election were annulled. An independent commission found evidence of fraud during the 2015 vote.

"The Council has decided to repeat the first round of the presidential election," the president of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) Leopold Berlanger told reporters on Monday.

Last October's poll, which was won by Jovenel Moise from the party of ex-President Michel Martelly, was disputed by losing candidates and their supporters, who forced the second-round run-off to be postponed several times.

In its non-binding final report delivered last week, the council recommended an entirely new election, citing widespread fraud and "zombie" voting.

The panel found about 628,000 untraceable votes during an audit of polling station tally sheets.

The council set new dates for a fresh first round to be held on October 9 with a run-off vote on January 8, 2017. But the party that came first in the contested first round warned it would challenge the ruling.
