Haiti - Elections : Towards the application of Article 12 of the Agreement El Rancho
Tuesday at a press conference, Pierre Michel Brunache, the spokesman of the Prime Minister reiterated the commitment of the administration Martelly / Lamothe to conduct polls in the shortest possible time.

Continuing to accuse the six opposition senators, member of G6, to be responsible for the failure to hold elections on October 26 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11798-haiti-elections-the-cep-confirms-that-there-will-be-no-elections-october-26-2014.html he declared "Blocking seems irreducible in the Senate," describing the behavior of senator, that block the ratification of the amendments to the electoral law for nearly 150 days, of self-destructive and suicidal "the Government has no others choice that the application of Article 12 of the El Rancho Agreement."

Recall for our readers that Article 12 of the Agreement El Rancho, through a political consensus between the three states powers said "IV. SPECIAL PROVISIONS Article 12 : In cases where amendments to the electoral law planned and proposed in the framework of the dialogue are not passed by the two branches of Parliament within the period prescribed in section eight (8) of this Agreement, Parties note with the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) the physical impossibility of applying Articles referred. Consequently, the Parties agree that the said articles automatically enter into hold and the electoral body is allowed to override. Consequently, the Parties agree that the said articles are automatically in hold and the electoral body is allowed to override."

Michel Brunache explained that the executive wants the support of all the signatories to the agreement El Rancho to enforce Article 12 and that it continued to meet all the actors involved in the electoral process to examine ways and means to implement this articles ; stating that the executive power, the President of the Chamber of Deputies and the majority of political parties signatories to the Agreement El Rancho are in favorable to the application of this article adding "we have the support of the international community in this process."

Remains to obtain the adhesion of Senate President, Senator Dieusel Simon Desras, signatory (by power of attorney) of the El Rancho agreement, which does not intend to support this approach. After having denied in the past to not be part to this agreement, he now says that it is not with him that the executive should discuss, but with the signatories of the agreement parties [?] He recalled that he does has not signed the minutes of the meeting of August 11 at the National Palace asking the CEP to implement Article 12 of the Agreement of El Rancho https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11798-haiti-elections-the-cep-confirms-that-there-will-be-no-elections-october-26-2014.html

The Spokesman of the Prime Minister believes that the application of Article 12, will promote the holding of elections while doubting their achievement this year "holding elections at the end of the year seems hypothetical if you look things well [...] We will continue to dialogue with the six senators, but we believe that we finally have an election in the country in the early first quarter of 2015."
