Following Saturday's signing of the political agreement https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16533-haiti-politic-the-details-of-the-agreement-from-a-to-z.html between President of the Republic, Michel Martelly and the Presidents of both Houses of Parliament: Senator Jocelerme Privert (Senate) and Deputy Cholzer Chancy (Lower House), for institutional continuity at the end of the mandate of President of the Republic in the absence of an elected president and for the continuation of the electoral process begun in 2015, the Chief of the Mission Special of the Organization of American States (OAS), Antigua and Barbuda Ambassador Sir Ronald Sanders, who is also Chair of the Permanent Council of the OAS, declared "We wish the stakeholders every success as we encourage them to implement the formula for going forward."

The Mission also congratulated President Michel Martelly for maintaining his position to demit office on February 7, and for his willingness to engage in constructive dialogue with stakeholders prior to his departure, to ensure that the State continues to function peacefully and in the social and economic interest of the country.

"The situation in Haiti is exceptional and it required exceptional solutions. We are pleased that the stakeholders have all committed themselves to democracy, peace and stability, amid a constitutional vacuum created by the absence of an elected President to replace Mr Martelly," Sanders said.

"My delegation is satisfied that while we were in Haiti to garner an appreciation of the views of as many stakeholders as possible, our presence had a beneficial effect on the search for a consensus formula by the various groups. We were also able to address and clarify misconceptions and misleading information about the role that the OAS plays in Haiti."
