Haiti to hold parliamentary elections this year -U.S. senator

Aug 08, 2013

MIAMI, (Reuters) - Haitian President Michel Martelly plans to hold overdue elections before the end of the year, according to U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, who is on a four-day visit to the Caribbean nation.
The elections are needed to fill one-third of Haiti’s 30-member Senate and dozens of municipal posts. Elections were supposed to be held in late 2011, but disagreements over an elections law halted the process.
Nelson, a Florida Democrat, issued a statement yesterday saying he was “surprised at the degree of political polarization” between Martelly and Haiti’s opposition leaders in parliament.
