We are not going to be sore losers but we are human beings. The right of a second round of elections is inscribed in the election rules.

There is a tiny chance that we will have a second round, but I fear Preval has made a clean sweep of the votes.

I'm not saying that Preval himself is involved, but there are elements around him, and in this country, that resort to violence in situations like these. I want to think we can have a peaceful contest, but I fear the worst.

Chances that there will be a second round initially seemed weak but are getting better and better.

This statistical manipulation of the vote amounts to a prize to those who advocate violence.

As we did in the 1988 coup against us, we say good luck to the country.

Our position is very clear, whoever gets 50 percent plus one wins, and if they don't get it, we go to a second round.
