Haiti - Elections : The new electoral calendar divides the political class 15/10/2016 11:31:58
Moïse Jean-Charles, presidential candidate under the banner "Pitit Dessalin" has no problem with the new calendar stressing that he understands the reasons of the Electoral Council and that he accepted the decision of the CEP, while regretting the failure to respect the Constitution. The leaders of the Fanmi Lavalas party should react in principle this Saturday, meanwhile, for Leslie Voltaire, the campaign manager of Maryse Narcisse the presidential candidate of the Party January 29 is very close on 7 February which augurs problems for the continuation because of the unconstitutional situation. For Jude Célestin presidential candidate under the banner of "Alternative League for Progress and the Haitian Emancipation" (LAPEH) the dates are reasonable. For Me Henry Céant, presidential candidate under the banner "Renmen Ayiti," November 20 is also a date acceptable, however, he disagrees a second round 29 January 2017 making it impossible to respect the constitutional deadline. Guichard Doré, the political adviser of Jovenel Moïse, presidential candidate under the banner of PHTK, is very critical of the new electoral calendar, which ignores the Haitian Constitution and would make the game of de facto president Privert, which would have plenty of space to take decisions because of the possible caducity of Parliament early 2017. Calling all forces of the nation against the new electoral calendar. Ronald Larèche, the President of the Senate and the National Assembly is not satisfied with the timetable and requires a reduction in time to respect the Constitution of 7 February for the inauguration of a new president elected. He did not understand this decision, stressing that if it could not organize the elections on the last Sunday of October as required by the Constitution, why not have realized them early November, noting that in some countries, elections are held even in times of war... Uder Antoine, announced that candidates will have an additional 15 days to campaign before the first round of voting and 30 days before the second round (if applicable). SL/ HaitiLibre
