Haitian Diaspora supports implementation of Article 9 of the El Rancho agreement

Among the groups represented in this delegation are doctors, businessmen, journalists and pastors, etc. They were, however, invited by the Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe, under an umbrella non-profit organization by the name "Ban Mwen Dwam International". This is an organization that has been at the forefront to fight for the rights of the people living abroad.

This article simply allows the Diaspora to vote in the general election. However, there are conditions to be met. One of these is that an individual must be holding a national identification card, be a registered voter, and also meet the requirements stipulated in Article 16 of the constitution.

The delegation was expected to meet several other stakeholders such as political and religious personalities. They were also to meet the representatives of young groups in the country. This is to be conducted through various departments in the government in order to make sure that all groups are properly represented come 2015.

It should also be noted that the minister of Haitians Living Abroad (François Guillaume II) had held a meeting with the Chief of Mission of the International Organization for Migration, Mr. Gregoire Goodstein on identification of this community and how they can be incorporated in the electoral process.
