Facilitate confidence-building and holding of elections in 2015 will be the main issues to be adressed during the mission. Taking into consideration the exceptional circumstances and the resulting new political landscape – new Prime Minister and Cabinet, new Provisional Electoral Council, no Legislature with a Parliament no longer operational, a Political Accord concluded between President Martelly and several opposition parties as well as the Presidential Consultative Commission's recommendations endorsed by President Martelly, the objectives of the mission will be the following:
The agenda includes bilateral meetings with the principal authorities of the country – including President Martelly, Prime Minister Evans Paul, as well as with key opposition political leaders from parties Fanmi Lavalas, OPL, KPL, FUSION, Ayisyen pou Ayiti, INITE, and relevant international community actors.
