Haiti Candidate Needs Major Changes to Participate in Runoff

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Jan 7, 2016, 6:45 PM ET

A spokesman for Haitian presidential contender Jude Celestin said Thursday that the second-place candidate will participate in an upcoming runoff only if sweeping changes recommended by a special commission are adopted to improve voting.

Campaign spokesman Gerald Germain said Celestin has been urging Haiti's outgoing president to ensure that the commission's recommendations are put in place before the two-candidate presidential runoff. They include major changes to the electoral machinery, with investigations and possible resignations of those accused of corruption, and political dialogue to achieve consensus about the next round.

"Only when the recommendations are implemented would Mr. Celestin take part," Germain said in a phone interview.

While Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council has pledged to improve transparency for the final round, commission spokesman Rosny Desroches said he has seen very little progress to solve electoral tensions since the special panel's recommendations were released Sunday.

For instance, he noted that President Michel Martelly this week issued a decree making Jan. 24 the new date for the postponed runoff without first holding a political dialogue with those involved in the electoral impasse, a key recommendation.

"There is apparently no will to hold even a minimal dialogue," Desroches said.

The United Nations, the U.S. government and representatives of other nations making up the "Core Group" that monitors Haiti have urged state institutions and political actors to "take all steps necessary to ensure a peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected president" by the Feb. 7 constitutional deadline.

On Wednesday, U.S. State Department Counselor Thomas Shannon and the U.S. special coordinator for Haiti visited the country and met with a number of people, including the two presidential candidates slotted for the Jan. 24 runoff. It is unclear what, if anything, was accomplished. The pair departed Thursday.

U.S. Ambassador Peter Mulrean, who participated in the meetings, said that he would not divulge specifics but that conversations with both presidential candidates focused on the challenges facing Haiti, their visions for the future and "a bit about where they stood on moving ahead with the second round."

"I can tell you that we certainly hope that he (Celestin) will participate and that the elections will move forward," Mulrean told The Associated Press.

In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. welcomed the presidential decree setting Jan. 24 as the runoff date and encouraged "all Haitians to participate peacefully and calmly in the vote." The U.S. has contributed over $30 million to this election cycle in Haiti.

If legitimate elections don't take place as scheduled Jan. 24, a transitional government might have to be formed in the impoverished country where elections are never easy and suspicions of manipulation and complicity by the Provisional Electoral Council and the government in power are chronic.

The Group of Eight opposition alliance, which is made up of Celestin and seven other presidential candidates, wants the members of the electoral council to resign over what it says is corruption and vote-rigging. It also says a transitional government is needed to complete Haiti's electoral process in a fair and transparent way.

Celestin has called the official results putting him in second place behind government-backed candidate Jovenel Moise a "ridiculous farce" and refused to campaign for a Dec. 27 runoff that was postponed days before it was scheduled amid swirling allegations of "massive fraud." He has since demanded 30 days for campaigning before any runoff.

Echoing comments he made to Haiti's biggest newspaper recently, Mulrean said there has been no evidence to back up the allegations of rampant electoral fraud.

"I have heard many accusations of massive fraud but I have not seen those making the accusations come forward with proof," the U.S. ambassador said.

Yon lòt fwa ankò.
Se pou tout blan retire dyòl yo lan zafè Ayiti.
Nèg Mulreyan lan se yon pèsona nonn grata.
Yanki go home.
Se pou yon nouvo palman ranfòse yon lwa sou wòl diplomat ann Ayiti.
Se pou yo remét meriken $30 milyon yo bay ki pémèt yo ap fé frekan lan peyi an.

Antouka! Mwen salye Selesten avèk onè e respè.

Ondiire, Rosni Deròch kòmanse ap vire!
Nèg yo se aganman.

Anbasadè meriken tap mande pou mete tout manb konsey electoral la nan prison si se te lakay li yo tè fè dezod saa.

Tout MOUN ETONE devan kenbe SELESTEN kenbe TET devan sa yo rele KOMINOTE ENTENASYONAL.

ROBERT FATTON di lan MIAMI HERALD presyon sou SELESTEN an dwe IMANS.

Imajine GWO MANITOU DEPATMAN DETA yo lan yon RANKONT ak SELESTEN;tout sot de KRAPONAJ ,Chache achte l ,paske yo konn ize sa tou ,e misye REZISTE.

A LIMENM ;misye ap yon gwo MOSO lan derayman PLAN MAKYAVEL MATELI ak KOMINOTE ENTENASYONAL lan.

Si misye kontinye kenbe ,misye ap merite RESPE PEP AYISYEN an!

Nou pa kapab kontinye ap reve toujou, lè Meriken ak Kominote entènasyonal mete ansanm ak Tètkale epi Oligachi pou yo enpoze tèt yo kont volonte pèp lan.

Si Lendi yo reyisi enstale fopalman saa, malgre manifestasyon popilè yo, sa vle di ke yap mennen yon lit san konsyans kont pèp lan.

Kounyea, se bèg bannann nan sèlman ki ap fè kanpay. Savledi yap pare pou yo enstale l kòm prezidan e deklare yon Fòfè paske KEP an di si Selesten pa retire kandidati l ofisyêlman, non l ap rete bikten yo.

Eske nou pa ta kapab jwe lan jwèt yo e fè kanpay opozisyon pou tout pati ak lidè opozisyon al vote kont Tètkale?

SASAYE;

Pa gen jwe lan JWET.Menm si tout OPOZISYON an ta al vote SELESTEN ,li ta devan 80% kont 20% ;pa gen garanti ke yo ap kite l genyen.

Sa t ap diferan si se MARIZ NASIS ki te lan dezyem TOU .Ak kapasite MOBILIZASYON FANMI LAVALAS ,sa t ap difisil pou yo t ap fe sa.

Tankou ROBERT FATTON ki depi plis ke 12 ZAN ap fe bon ANALIZ lan INIVESITE VIRGINIA ;misye di ke ZO an ap koke lan GOJ tout KOMINOTE ENTENASYONAL ,san POT de SOTI si JID SELESTEN refize patisipe lan dezyem TOU.

ROBERT FATTON se ansyen PWOFESE ,anpil NEG lan DEPATMAN DETA yo.

INIVESITE VIRGINIA ak JOHN HOPKINS se 2 pi GRAN INIVESITE pou prepare DIPLOMAT.

Si JID SELESTEN kenbe ,li refize ale lan dezyem TOU ,bagay lan ap deraye lan men MESYE yo.
Si li ale ,n ap pran 5 AN TETKALETIS yo anko.

s

Jowèl,
Pa janm gen okenn garanti kote magouy ak move kou kapab fèt pou dejwe plan yon pèp.

Pou dejwe plan Kominote entènasyonal mete ak Tètkale ak GNBIS, se tout kan popilè an ki pou ta mete ansanm pou vote an mas kont yo.

Lan ka saa se yon alyans estratejik kote Lavalas ta sipòte lòt gwoup ki lan opozisyon an pou vote KONT konplo Tètkale an. Si nesese, Fanmi Lavalas kapab mobilize lan sans saa.

Si nèg you pouse eleksyon an kanmenm pou 24 Janvye, pa gen lòt chwa.
Kòm Yo pa lan kous, se pou Mariz Nasis ak Moyiz Janchal mande patizan yo pou vote pou Selesten.
E si rezilta yo ta 80% pou opozisyon, se ta enposib pou yo ta defye popilasyon an lan pwen saa, san pa ta gen krazebrize.

Kriz saa grav anpil e li kapab vinn pi grav, ou pa wè ni Etazini, ni Loni ap panike?

Sa m vle di w SASAYE ,ou te MET mobilize pou yon VOT kont TET KALE yo ,pa gen GARANTI tou.

Yo gen dwa fe lot bagay pou pa gen MOBILIZASYON sa a ,pa bliye ke se 10% POPILASYON an ki t al vote le 9 DAWOUT e 20 % le 25 OKTOB.

Tout NEG sa yo ,se pou SIVIVANS yo y ap KONBAT.

Yo kapab toujou fe FO PWOSE VEBAL ,FOJE SIYATI elt..

Kanta KOMINOTE ENTENASYONAL lan ,sa yo bezwen PANIKE fe ;si bagay y ap fe an pase ,pase ;si l pa pase tou ya ajiste yo.

Tankou ROBERT FATTON di l ,mesye yo paka fe dezyem TOU san SELESTEN pa patisipe;yo paka fe FoFe.

Ou pa we se AYE ke CHANM KWOUPYON an ,al reyini paske PEP lan t ap tann yo Jodi 11 JANVYE.

Kanta LEJISLATI sa a ,gen le se an SEKRE yo pral fe SEYANS.

MOBILIZASYON EFIKAS anpil wi ;se MOBILIZASYON ki te fe BALAGUER fe BAK apre li te VOLO ELEKSYON 1994 yo an DOMINIKANI e BALAGUER te gen yon LAME 80 MIL OM deye l.

Pou m fini ,pa gen garanti ke FANMI LAVALAS ak PITIT DESALIN ta ka mobilize PATIZAN yo pou y al vote JID SELESTEN.
Gen pi gwo PWOBABILITE ke yo ta pito chita LAKAY yo
