Preval's Last May 18, He Is Leaving As Planned!

On May 18, 2010, President Preval announced on his flag day speech in Arcahaie Haiti that he will step down as scheduled next year at the end of his term, Feb. 7.

There has been a lot of political controversy following a decree he adopted earlier this month that would extend his term by up to three months if a planned presidential election is not held by the end of November.

Some say Preval was just trying to use the earthquake disaster to hold on to power.

Ou kwe sa?

President Preval told the assembly at the Arcahaie Haitian flag day ceremony:

"This is the last May 18 I will spend with you as president. I will go and my heart will be calm."

Question:

Is there enough time to hold a credible election in Haiti and have a new president swear in by Feb 7?
