Here is a picture of Mr. Jean Fritz Jean-Louis, Minister Delegate for electoral matters

A man with a hard task at hand, newly installed Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister on election issues, Jean Fritz Jean-Louis has been described as the Head of Government as an "exceptional asset". He is expected to ensure that the country's road to and eventual election is a smooth process. To ensure this, he will act as the bridge between the government, the people of the country, the opposition parties, the international community and the CEP. A heavy role at any time, it is made especially hard in 2015 as there is mounting pressure from the populace to ensure elections this year.
