HAITI: Martelly sets the date (again)
President Michel Martelly has issued a decree calling long-delayed legislative and local elections as well as the presidential elections due this year, from which he is constitutionally barred from running. The decree followed another executive order establishing a new legal framework for the electoral process; Martelly’s first decree since the bicameral legislature became inoperative on 12 January [WR-15-02], after the terms of all 99 national deputies and 10 senators in the 30-seat upper chamber - a third of which was already vacant - formally expired.
