Jocelerme Privert affirmed its willingness to establish the Verification Commission asserting "We can not go to the polls without restoring confidence in the process."
He again reject its responsibility about the delays, justifying the absence of elections provided that Sunday, April 24 by the impossibility 1 month before, of calling the population in the elections because of the lack of CEP "If the CEP has not been established at this time, it is because of delays in the parliament which took weeks to ratify the government [25 days to ratify the PM]" forgetting that he could by order, establish the CEP 15 days earlier... http://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17253-haiti-news-zapping-politics.html

PORT-AU-PRINCE
A serial entrepreneur-turned political newcomer and an engineer who led teams of female rescuers during Haiti’s tragic Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake will face off in a presidential runoff scheduled for next month.
Government-backed candidate Jovenel Moise and opposition candidate Jude Célestin emerged as the two top vote getters in the Oct 25 presidential balloting to succeed President Michel Martelly, according to preliminary results released Thursday by Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council (CEP). Moise finished with 32.8 percent of the votes to Célestin’s 25.2 percent.
The high-stakes race, which included balloting for parliament and mayors, attracted a cacophony of 54 presidential candidates, including several proteges of twice-exiled, twice-elected former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Two of them, former Sen. Moise Jean-Charles and Dr. Maryse Narcisse, who was Aristide’s chosen pick, finished third and fourth, respectively with 14.2 percent and 7.05 percent.
