Mr Rene Garcia Preval is credited with 51.15 per cent of the votes based on 96 per cent of voting stations counted, and is declared the winner.
Voting operations (in the countryside) are normal, with some exceptions.
We have reached a solution to the problem. We feel a huge satisfaction at having liberated the country from a truly difficult situation.
In some polling stations, blank ballots totaled a quarter of the votes, and in some others, one third of the votes.
Rene Preval has been declared the winner with 51 percent.
We won't be able to fix all the problems in time for February 7. It would take us four or six months to correct them.
We have to face the hard reality that the elections cannot be held on January 8th and that the necessary corrections should be made to ensure the holding of a credible vote.
We will continue to assume our responsibilities and find a way to continue the electoral operations in his absence.
If it is materially and technically impossible, as is the case today, to hold these elections on January 8th, do you think we should go ahead and organize a farce?
