Press Release
Statement by the Embassy of the United States Following the Publication of Results of the November 28 National Elections by the CEP
7 December 2010
2010/ 99
2010/ 99
As Haiti enters the period of electoral contestation, it is essential that all political actors remain calm and encourage their supporters to do the same. The United States, together with Haiti’s international community partners, stands ready to support efforts to thoroughly review irregularities in support of electoral results that are consistent with the will of the Haitian people expressed in their votes.
Like others, the Government of the United States is concerned by the Provisional Electoral Council’s announcement of preliminary results from the November 28 national elections that are inconsistent with the published results of the National Election Observation Council (CNO), which had more than 5,500 observers and observed the vote count in 1,600 voting centers nationwide, election-day observations by official U.S. observers accredited by the CEP, and vote counts observed around the country by numerous domestic and international observers.
Haiti’s transition to democracy over the past 24 years has seen many successes, overcoming major challenges. The 2010 elections represent a critical test of whether the Haitian people will determine their destiny through their vote. The United States is committed to the consolidation of democracy in Haiti and calls on the Government of Haiti, the CEP and all political forces to ensure that the will of the people is fully reflected in the outcome of this election.

ReplyDeleteone thing Preval have to understand is that :haiti does not belong to him. we are not gone settle for that any more, Duvalier put Jclaude as his replacement like a kingdom or monarchy haitian people swallow it,now is time to stand up for what is right.
ReplyDeleteHAITIANS ARE NOT STUPID. THEY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ELECTION AND A SELECTION. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE ANNULMENT OF THE SELECTION OF NOVEMBER 28,2010. WHO GAVE PREVAL THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE US A PRESIDENT. WAKE UP HAITIANS, WE NEED OUR RESPECTS IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. LET'S GET TOGETHER TO DEFEAT THE ELECTION SO THE PEOPLE LIVING IN HAITI CAN MAKE THEIR CHOICES. MADAME MANIGAT IS RETARDED; SHE CANNOT KEEP HER WORDS.
ReplyDeleteI AM JUST SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE CHAOS AND THE CRAZINESS THAT IS GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, HAITI. ALL WE DO IS JUDGE, CRITICIZE, DEFINE, THEORIZE AND SO FORTH.... FOR HOW LONG THE COUNTRY WILL CONTINUE SUFFERING? WHY CAN'T WE ACCEPT OUR OWN DEFEAT? WHY WE ALWAYS MAKE STUPID DECISIONS AS A NATION? WHY WE ALWAYS LET OTHER PEOPLE MANIPULATE US? ALL I CAN SAY AND ASK WHY? I CAN NEVER REMEMBER EVER SINCE I WAS BORN, GROWING UP IN HAITI THAT OUR SO-CALLED LEADERS HAVE STARTED SOMETHING AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FINISH IT ACCORDINGLY. I JUST WOULD LOVE FOR ALL THAT NONSENSE TO FINALLY STOP.......I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. IN FACT, MAJORITY OF US ARE QUICK TO FORGET AND QUICK TO REACT. I JUST HOPE AND PRAY ONE DAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO ACT LIKE CIVILIZED PEOPLE, BECAUSE OUR DECISION-MAKING AS A COUNTRY IS VERY SAD........ LORD HAVE MERCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWE NEED TO REALIZE AS A NATION WITH MOTTO"TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG" THAT WE MUST UNITE BEHIND A STRONG AND A DEDICATED LEADER TO GET THE COUNTRY IN THE RIGHT PATH. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE FIGHTING AMONG FACTIONS. LEAVE EMOTIONS BEHIND AND LET'S US DO THAT RATIONAL, LOGICAL. CAN WE ALL GET ALONG IN SPITE OF OUR DIFFERENCES AS HAITIANS?
