HAITI: Concerns build ahead of legislative vote
Jean Fritz Jean-Louis, Haiti’s minister delegate in charge of electoral issues, has expressed concerns about violence ahead of the 9 August first round of legislative elections for two-thirds of the 30-member national senate and the newly expanded 118-member lower chamber of congress. His remarks follow concerns raised by the United Nations stabilisation mission in Haiti (Minustah) after the murder at the start of last month of an employee of the provisional electoral council (CEP).
