HAITI - CEP Agrees To Recount Votes For Top 3 Presidential Candidates

BREAKING NEWS - Haiti's Electoral Council (CEP) has just released a note to the press that talks about a special recount for the first 3 candidates for President of Haiti: Michel Martelly, Mirlande Manigat, and Jude Celestin.

This special recount will be made in the presence of the CEP, national and international observers, and the candidates in question.

NOTE ONCE AGAIN....

The recount is for the TOP 3 presidential candidates ONLY...

They are being asked to come to the center of tabulations and validate the authenticity of the vote count. In the mean time they are calling for calm throughout the country.

We are waiting for the CEP Communiqué de presse # 59 to be released online and we will update this article.

In the mean time... tell us...

Recount is NOT AN ANSWER.

The same tainted ballots will be the basis for recounting, this is no good. We might as well tell Celestin that he is the new president and let it rests on this way. We need a new election, juste pure and simple.

Nothing else will do. The elections were a total sham. Let us face it, admit it and move forward with new

They have to annulled the process and start a new election having to recount the 3 candidated its just a wast of time. It shows clearly the voice of the people have not being hurd at since November 28th. Si group INITE gentan fi. fe magouy yo nan poll yo koman yap fe identifye sak te bon ak sak pa bon.
If this is the way that Jude wants to win then it unfair and very direspectfull towards haitian.

2.- In addition most of the cheating took place in the congressional races favor of "Inite".

3.-Therefore only new elections can solve both

i seriously agree with you. you do not need to be a president.

he can just keep working for CNE and do all the right things until the people finally like him. if he loves the country he has to give up and let the process move
