The Federation remains convinced that these long-awaited results will finally pave the way for political stability in Haiti, a prerequisite for placing the country on the path of development and progress.

We, the members of the FEDHE, are convinced that your team and you will make every effort to strengthen republican institutions, establish a rule of law, that obeys the laws and recommendations of the constitution, establish a society based on justice which will apply to all citizens.
