Haiti - Elections : Gaillot Dorsinvil more and more isolated...

After the resignation of the Advisor Ginette Chérubin and her statements accusing of fraud and corruption, Jean-Pierre Toussaint Thélève, Vice-president of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) is reserved facing the declarations of Gaillot Dorsinvil, the President of the CEP, which proposes in response to the recommendations of the Joint Verification Mission election OAS/CARICOM (JOEM) the formation of a new National Electoral Complaints and Challenges Bureau in order to make a retrial on certain elected whose the contested results fuel the post-electoral crisis... "The President Dorsinvil is badly placed to make such a proposal for ending the crisis in the current context [...] If I were him, I would keep silence" has informed Jean Thélève Pierre-Toussaint [...] "For now, I continue in my capacity as Vice-president, to make concerataions with other advisers to find a solution to the situation in which we are currently [...] Moreover, we do not recommend this report [...] However, we must hear all the actors for a solution to the crisis" regretting that in full crisis, some of his colleagues are absent from the CEP for several days....

The electoral Advisor Jacques Belzin, representing the union sector, the former strongman of Centre des Travailleurs Haïtien (CTH), who seems unaware that the country is facing a serious post-electoral crisis, rejects the conclusions of the report of the JOEM and gives no credence to the proposal of "retry" some elected as proposed by the President of the CEP "The decisions of BCEN were taken by the majority of the members and I decided in good faith", he rejects the idea to sit in a new electoral court "All actors involved in the process had agreed that the decisions of BCEN were without appeal, therefore they are final."

While the tension mounts in the CEP, Gaillot Dorsinvil, in the center to all the critics, is more and more isolated and his proposal to end the crisis finds little echo in a CEP which the future is more and more uncertain. Even Serge Jules Audate, his Chief of Cabinet, would take his distance... A persistent rumor suggests that the latter, would have asked to Gaillot Dorsinvil to resign, a viewpoint that seems to share several advisors.
