Haiti - Politic : OCID deeply concerned by the establishment of the Permanent Electoral Council 03/05/2018 08:50:31 The OCID stresses that the provisions of the 1987 Constitution amended for the appointment of members of the CEP "[...] are certainly very clear and simple, but the current political panorama where the same political tendency predominates towards the two-headed Executive and in both Houses of Parliament tends to reinforce the climate of suspicion and weaken the ongoing process of formation of the Permanent Electoral Council [...]" In order to face this challenge and to minimize the possibilities of challenge of the members of the CEP, the OCID "[...] calls for a patriotic burst of the authorities of the power in place and all the political actors and the Civil Society to facilitate the selection of credible, non-partisan and competent personalities." Recalling that it is also imperative that the constitutional quota of 30% of women, be respected by the three powers of the State in the selection of members of the CEP. The Observatory believes that "the strict respect of these criteria is a condition sine qua non" to avoid falling into the same traps of the last 30 years: succession of Provisional Electoral Councils, non-compliance with elections, holding elections sloppy or rigged resulting in chronic political crises, systematic weakening of democratic institutions, entrenchment of corruption and impunity, continuing worsening of poverty and social inequalities."
