Here is a picture of Edgard Leblanc Fils, former coordinator of the OPL.

Out of the 13 candidates who vied to become the next interim president, late on Friday 12, 2016, the list was shortened by a bicameral commission in parliament to '3'-- (i) Senator Dejean Bélizaire, former head of the National Assembly; (ii) Senate President Edgard Fils Leblanc and; (iii) Senate chief Jocelerme Privert. At least nine of the candidates had deposited the required filing fees ($8,414) for this 120 day temporary job. The money deposited was intended to be transferred to the State University of Haiti account. However, the members OPL (Struggling People's Organization) of which Edgard Leblanc Fils is a former coordinator, was divided over the candidacy of Edgard Leblanc Fils. They did not support his candidacy as they are equally opposed to the Privert's candidacy and his following success. The OPL Coordinator Sauveur Pierre Etienne has said that starting with a separation of powers, a lot of principles have been violated by this accord. Privert had played a leading role in making the accord and he is now taking benefit from it.

Maryse Narcisse, Mildred Trouillot Aristide at Jocelerme Privert's investiture.

The inauguration ceremony of former Senator Jocelerme Privert as the Provisional President at the National Palace on February 14, 2016 was attended by many personalities from the political and diplomatic worlds. Many noted business personalities and political allies like Jean Charles Moise, Mathias Pierre, US Ambassador Peter F. Mulrean, head of the PNH, and some hardcore oppositions of Martelly like Dr. (Mrs.) Maryse Narcisse (presidential candidate of Fanmi Lavalas) and former First Lady Mildred Trouillot Aristide (wife of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a rare political appearance) were seen among the witness of Privert's investiture. Prime Minister Evans Paul was seen among the attendees, watching as an onlooker in a marginalized manner. Could this be a message to the Martelly aids that they have no place in the Privert's administration? Privert will pick Haiti's next Prime Minister, in consultation with the Speakers of the House and Senate.

Here is a picture of Fednel Monchéry, Coordinator of the platform "Repon peyizan"

Fednel Monchéry is the coordinator of platform 'Repon Peyizan' (Peasant Response) which was founded in 2010. The party was established to represent itself in every department of the country by the Haitian general election of 2010-11. Although they had plans to get 10 seats in the Senate, none of their candidates could win a single seat; they had to remain happy with only 3 of the 99 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. During a recent conference on December 1, 2015, the members of the platform have appreciated the role played by the CEP in the recent election and have renewed their commitment throughout the remaining election process to support Jovenel Moses of PHTK and see him as the next Haitian President on February 7th, 2016.
