Saturday, after several hours late, at 4pm the National Assembly has been held at the very beginning the Senator Riché questioned the safety of the provisional President to be elected, so he asked the disarmament of deputies, senators and the public.

Then Deputy Caleb Desrameaux, Secretary rapporteur of the special bicameral commission responsible for preparing the election of the provisional President of the Republic of Haiti, had read the report of the said commission, where we learn that "the Commissioners decided that the files (of candidates) do not totaling a maximum of 10 pieces will be rejected [...]

Receiving support from members of the Assembly, was questionedthe total of 10 documents... throwing doubts and suspicions about the work of the commission. The commission agreed to provide the parts but to a small group and behind closed doors.
