The Commission of the Government does not please

The coalition of observation organizations (CONAHNE, RNDDH, CNO et SOFA...) continues to require the establishment of an independent Commission on the elections of 25 October. Edouard Paultre, coordinator of CONAHNE argues that the Commission should be composed of individuals of integrity and ability, who know the issues of research and statistics.

The coalition also condemns the decision of the Executive to have proceded to the formation of an interministerial commission to gather the views of different stakeholders, with a view to improving the second round of presidential elections of 27 December.
