Jacques Thimoléon Stevenson

There is life after Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe. The executive and the legislative power understand that clearly. This is a meeting between Deputy Jacques S. Thimoléon, M. Simon D. Desras and President Michel Martelly consulting to form a new government.

Consultative Commission Urges Opposition to Declare a Truce

President Martelly has abided by a special commission's recommendation that Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe be asked to resign. Lamothe offered his resignation Sunday December 14th.

Demonstrators have demanded the Martelly-Lamothe government be ended when the holding of general elections in October did not occur.

The commission is asking the opposition to declare a truce so both sides can agree to hold elections before Parliament closes down and Martelly rules by presidential decree.

Jacques Thimoléon Stevenson, the Deputy of Petit-Goâve has been elected as the new President of the Chamber of Deputies after Jean Tolbert Alexis, deputy of Croix-des-Bouquets on 15 January 2014. He is a good leader, former President of the pro-Martelly majority bloc PSP and member of many other important office committees. During his tenure in PSP, it had remained constantly supportive to the present administration and it is believed that he will remove many roadblocks on policy implementation by Martelly-Lamothe administration. Yesterday, the Senate President, Simon Dieuseul Desras has renewed his term for a third term by 14/4 votes.
