One journalist asked John Kerry if the United States would support a government of transition should the opposition get their wish, Kerry replied:

"I said earlier... The only way for Haiti to have a change of government is through the elections process... AND it WILL automatically be a TRANSITION because President Martelly is not running again..."

"President Obama and myself, we ask all Haitian voters to go out and vote in the 25 October elections," John Kerry said.
