Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) To Maintain Electoral Calendar of Three Cycles
ADVERTISEMENT
However, in response over several discussions on the changes in the number of election days, the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) has said that it would maintain the electoral calendar of three cycles, published earlier. Recently, Pierre Louis Opont, the President of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) along with six other councilors, during a press conference has provided an update on the financial, technical and logistical aspects of the ensuing electoral process and they have reaffirmed the earlier announced election calendar. Me. Opont has expressed his doubt about the fact that the U.S. special adviser had not well studied the figures and wrongly comprehends that reduction of one day election would save around US$30 million when the total cost of holding election on three days is about US$62 million.
Although, the U.S. Special Adviser Thomas has received good support from one of the leading presidential nominees, Jean-Charles Moïse representing one of Haiti's important contending parties, Platfom Pitit Dessalines, most other groups consider the comment of Thomas is a 'faux pas (social blunder)" committed by the U.S. And moreover, a last minute changes would cause more confusion and ultimately put the already fragile election process at more risk.
