After the conference, Yves Cristalin - "Oganizasyon Lavni (LAVNI)" and Yvon Neptune - "Ayisyen Pou Ayiti" had spoken in favor of canceling the poll.
Other candidates favorable to the cancellation of the poll: 2.84%
All candidates favorable to the cancellation of the poll: 22.21 % of votes expressed
Jacques Edouard Alexis also stated that the group has always been favorable to the formation of a provisional government and not of a transition; to assure the conduct of good elections with a new Electoral Council.
He also stated informed that the provisional government, whose group claims the installation is constitutional under Haitian law is not the case according to him, for the amended election law, which would allow the head of the State to remain in power until May 14 (the date when he was sworn in in 2006) - Note that the constitution says that February 7th is the end of the presidential mandate, but it also refers to the period of 5 years for this mandate. It is on this last detail that the law allowing President Préval to stay until May 14, 2011 was voted by parliament and the Senate in May 2010.
For his part, Jean-Henry Céant noted that the Head of State, by organizing the elections of 28 November, pledged to leave office on February 7. "Mr. Préval can not use any constitutional ploy to justify his possible continuation of head of state beyond February 7".
In addition, Jacques Edouard Alexis said that the group does not recognize, according to the Haitian Constitution, the expert mission of the Organization of American States (OAS) to conduct an audit of minutes. He said that the OAS is part of the problem and can not, under any circumstances, claim to be part of the solution.
"We do not recognize this mission, nor the second round, that they want to impose on us. It is necessary to have a provisional government to hold new elections" he says.
For his part, Charles Henri Baker, questioned the validity of the unilateral assessment by the OAS. The election results of November 28th are described as fraudulent. Believing that any serious investigation should lead to the cancellation of 90% of the minutes and therefore the election. "The electoral law was not applied. It cannot be a question of recount of the minutes issued from operations of ballot stuffing".
The group of 12, called the population to remain mobilized to defend their rights, being convinced that "the parody of November 28th will not pass and will be cancelled".
