Friday at the National Palace, the President a.i. Jocelerme Privert, announced at his press conference that after having met the RDNP, the JISTIS platform, Pitit Dessalines, the MONOP, Fanmi Lavalas and the OPL, he intended to continue his consultations with the same day : the PHTK and INITE and as of Monday with the Economic Forum, the Haïti Chérie group, the Civil Society, for the person who will be appointed as Prime Minister, have the legitimacy of a general consensus, capable of uniting all the forces of the nation towards a common goal.

"We will continue with the meetings and we hope that Tuesday or Wednesday we will be able to invite the Presidents of the Chambers for consultation on the proposed list of potential ministers prime [open list] https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16654-haiti-flash-6-candidates-for-prime-minister.html and that the Parliament in its composition with minority and majority bloc, can tell us which of these personalities is most fortunate to have the confidence of Parliament and it is at that moment that the appointment will be officially completed.

I take this opportunity to say that today the Senate deprived of its President in my person, is able to form a new office to appoint a new President of the Senate, the absence of a President can represent a handicap if by Tuesday the Senate does not have a President, this may delay the process.

What I am trying to do is to take all steps to ensure that the points in the agreement https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16533-haiti-politic-the-details-of-the-agreement-from-a-to-z.html with the calendar that was presented [no period is specified in the agreement on the appointment of a PM] I respect to the letter because the mandate is 90 to 120 days, I intend to do everything in my power, everything that depends on me, everything that depends on my ability to meet the deadline and act in strict compliance with the deadline of 120 days."

It should be noted that the battle for the Senate presidency is far from won and looks to be animated, the G9 minority with as candidate Youri Latortue (AAA) hopes to win the Presidency of an office whose all the positions are in the hands of the opposition. For its part, the majority G15 intends to maintain control over the entire office and nominate Senator Evalière Beauplan (PONT).
