Leopold Berlanger - CEP President

KREYOL: Men Nouvel... Haiti CEP Leopold Berlanger SEZI paske Les Etat Unis pa vle finanse Elections a refaire la... Misye di decision saa pa rasyonèl... Kisa ou panse de sa???

According to an article from the Miami Herald, Berlanger doesn't understand how the US' decision is rational.

The United States kept insisting that, although there were some irregularities in the elections, it was not enough to eliminate the results but Haitian authorities want to do it over. Why are they surprised when the US say they wont pay for it a second time?

What do you think about that?

There was a lot of fraud in the election 2015. It is very important to have a fair election by the people for the people.

Haiti needs a president who is going to work for the Haitian people rich and poor. Haiti needs a President who will create jobs, build affordable housing for the homeless dislocated by the earthquake.

They have elected President who rules in their own interest, not for the Haitian people.

The October 25, 2015 elections were good. We observed them with 208 observers.

(haitipolicy.org).

3% found serious problems.

Returns and results matched.

Should have just let the 2 top finishers duke it out. No wonder U.S. doesn't want to fund the same election twice.

Would be eaten alive on the Hill if they tried.

Too bad that some powerful folks lost. Let the chips fall where they
