Thursday, the 3rd day of verification of the minutes at the Voting Tabulation Center (CTV), the Electoral Court decided to regain control of the situation faced the systematic hindrance of the protesters and decided to apply Article 77 Of the Rules of Procedure which stipulates that "Candidates or their representatives participating in the carrying out of the measure of inquiry may not interrupt or interfere in the work of judges and/or experts in the execution of the measure" instruction.

Thursday, the PHTK is thus the only party to have participated, with the BCEN, until late in the evening, to the verification of the minutes without the presence of the protesting parties LAPEH, Fanmi Lavalas and Pitit Dessalin.

We do not build democracy with protesters, but with democrats [...]"
