The Embassy of the United States welcomes the election by the National Assembly of Jocelerme Privert as Provisional President of Haiti. This is the first step in implementing the accord signed February 5 by the President of the Republic and the Presidents of the two Chambers of Parliament, to ensure continued governance and the conclusion of the 2015 electoral process.
The U.S. Embassy calls on all parties to work together to complete the presidential, legislative, and local elections by April 24, as the accord calls for, so that Haiti can renew its democratic institutions and move forward to address the serious social and development challenges facing the country.
