Here is a picture of Mr. Max Mathurin, president of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP).

At the first press conference he's attended since being ill, President of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) Max Mathurin, addressed the restraints on the CEP budget and how this affected the organization's ability to fulfill their duty to the Departmental Electoral Offices (BED) and the Communal Electoral Offices (BEC). While still unable to pinpoint any set electoral dates, Mathurin did announce some activities pertaining to the upcoming elections. He reminded those present, however, that the country is still without a legal framework in the form of an electoral law.

On Friday, May 9, 2014, a ceremony took place at the Court of Cassation located in Route Frères, 7 of 9 CEP representatives were sworn. Two of the current members elected not to participate, Me. Néhémy Joseph and Léopold Berlanger.

Present for the ceremony were: Marie Clunie Dumay Miracles, Pierre Simon Georges, Applys Félix, Marie Carole Innocent Floreal Duclervil, Gloria Margarette Girault Saint-Louis, Jacqueline Patricia Chantale Raymond and Frizto Canton

Now the question is: with less than the full CEP ready to start the process for the next election in Haiti, will the election take place?

Do you think the CEP is not functional and should not be in a position to hold election without all its members?

Here it is. Fritzto Canton, the attorney for former Dictator Jean Claude Duvalier, has been named by President michel Martelly to head the CEP.

Since this nomination, there have been lot of comments made by various sectors of the population.

Some of the critics suggested that the change in the CEP confirms that the neo-Duvalier regime will do whatever is necessary to stay in power.

Do you think the appointment of Fritzto Canton to head the CEP will affect the result? Do you agree with President Michel Martelly who decided to move forward with the formation of a CEP to insure that election is finally taking place in Haiti this year?

The country awaits word as to whether an election will be carried out smoothly this season. Given that the last election, which took place on November 28, 2010 and went into a run-off in March the next year when no majority leader was established, ended with the third place candidate, President Michel Martelly, becoming president after a voting scandal took down one of the two front runners, the people of Haiti wait to see how this year's elections with play out.

Martelly is doing everything he can to avoid holding legislative elections by year's end. The Permanent Electoral Council (PEC) is necessary to prepare and hold elections, but Martelly has effectively aborted its functioning.

He has instituted a major remodeling project, shutting the offices down. He has also bribed PEC leader Ménard to not challenge him.

Prime Minister Lamothe is determined to hold 2013 elections and has the PEC introducing a bill to Parliament to declare elections be held by year's end
