Letter from Léopold Berlanger :
"Me Anel Aléxis JOSEPH
President of the Court of Cassation
In its offices.

Honourable President,

Following the invitation of the Court of Cassation to the designated members of the Provisional Electoral Council to perform their swearing in dated May 9, 2014, I wish to inform you of my decision to abstain in the present circumstances to give a positive response.

Indeed, we find the unavailability of one of the nine (9) Advisers appointed A Presidential Order to this CEP. His absence being motivated by the lack to date of a decision by the Legislative Power regarding its representation in the said Council.

Consequently, Honourable President, while deferring to the choice of the Superior Council of Judicial Power (CSPJ) to confirm my status to the new Electoral Council, you will allow me to wait that the regular conditions of a presence of nine (9) members, as intended by the Constitution within the Council be reunited before my swearing in.

In the hope that an agreement will be found on this issue between the major powers of the state for the good of our country and the advancement of the democratic process, i ask you to receive Honorable President my patriotic greetings.

Léopold Berlanger
Electoral adviser"
