Reducing to 42 the number of members voting out of 44 for the election of the President and his Prime Minister scheduled for this Sunday, January 30, 2022.

Letter from Famni Lavalas :

"[...] The political organization Fanmi Lavalas salutes the members of the Montana Accord Monitoring Office and takes this opportunity to remind them of the concerns raised by the organization in its letter dated December 6 2021 remained unanswered, concerns which were again the subject of a clarification meeting with the BSA on January 23, 2022.

At this meeting we reiterated the position of Fanmi Lavalas for "a transition of rupture with a government of public safety composed of honest, competent and non-partisan personalities, coming from different sectors of the country and the diaspora, which will work for the welfare of the people".

We also expressed our disagreements on "the choice of leaders of political parties to lead the transition and, in particular, to organize the elections in which their own political structures will participate, thus creating a situation of conflict of interest, the goal being an impartially and non-partisan led transition."

We note that despite everything, the National Transitional Council is continuing with the election schedule without waiting to reach a broader and more solid consensus of civil society to engage in the transition of rupture to which Fanmi Lavalas adhered by signing the Agreement of August 30, even if that would imply the revision of the procedure. Nothing is more important than ensuring compliance with the August 30 Accord for the success of the disruptive transition.

Under these conditions, Fanmi Lavalas, in order to remain consistent with its line in accordance with the desiderata of the population, is obliged to withdraw its members Joël-Edouard Vorbe and Jodson Dirogène from the National Transitional Council upon receipt of this [...] while hoping to be able to harmonize the differences in the search for a consensus."
