Following the decision of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) to postpone indefinitely the 2nd round of elections for security reasons https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16394-haiti-flash-elections-of-january-24-are-canceled-update-7h10-pm.html , in a note Fanmi Lavalas applauded the victory of the people and calls for maintaining the mobilization to continue the fight until the final victory.

"[...] Fanmi Lavalas bends very low at the courage and dignity of the Haitian people, who managed to slow this infernal electoral coup. Congratulations for this victory ! We will never stop to mobilize and show our commitment for a true democracy in the country, and this was done once again after their failure of December 27 and January 17, the key elements of the electoral coup, the Provisional Electoral Council and the power Tèt Kale and the international community (Core Group) back on the January 24, 2016.

[...] Lavalas presented his sympathy to all the victims, their families and friends.

But the battle is not over. The electoral coup is not finished. Right now, it is the same coup that takes another form. he conspirators are trying to continue with a second round with the candidate of selection while the report of the Presidential Commission of Electoral Evaluation shows clear evidence of fraud and serious irregularities. This is the same massive fraud that Fanmi Lavalas had denounced after its visit to the tabulation center on 21 and 22 November 2015 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-15823-haiti-flash-verification-authorized-to-ctv.html

The Haitian people reject any classification 'tèt chat' of CEP of Opont and of Martelly; it said that it can not be a continuation of the electoral process without there is results.

For this reason, Fanmi Lavalas continues to require an ndependent verification commission to provide the Haitian people the truth about the results of the polling day of 25 October and to allow the continuation of the electoral process. The formation of this Commission, its mandate and the agenda should be prepared in consultation with all sectors of the opposition. Fanmi Lavalas asks for the dismissal of Electoral Council of Opont.

Fanmi Lavalas will sit quickly with parties, political organizations, and all other sectors in the country to provide a response to the political crisis and prepare for the continuation of the electoral process in Haiti for a legitimate government that will work for the country to regain its sovereignty and dignity.

Fanmi Lavalas declares that the mobilization must not stop because the coup machine has not stopped yet: each neighborhood, each zone, each department take your responsibilities. Fanmi Lavalas continues to support all mobilizations across the country."
