Shortly after the submission of the report made by the experts of the Organization of American States (OAS), which would recommend excluding from the second round the government candidate, Jude Célestin, in favor of the candidate Michel Martelly, the latter said "We already have the strategy to win again, it is necessary to change the lives of Haitians."

The candidate Martelly said that "the results of the OAS are very similar to ours. President Préval, a montré qu'il ne voulait pas que je participe au second tour, he wanted to steal the election [...] Préval held the country in hostage as if it were its private property [...] we will defend our victory in the streets in a peaceful but energetic form. Forcefully, but legally. We are ready to fight for our rights peacefully. It is them [INITE] which hold weapons.
