History

Voter turnout was just 31.09% for the parliamentary elections and 27.8% for the presidential elections.Haiti: Elections held in 1995 Inter-Parliamentary UnionNohlen, p392 Further parliamentary elections were held on 6 April 1997 for one-third of the seats in the Senate and two seats in the Chamber of Deputies.Haiti: Elections held in 1997 Inter-Parliamentary Union A total of 45 candidates from 15 parties (including 25 independents) contested the Senate elections.

Only two candidates were elected in the first round, which was marked by a very low turnout. The second round was indefinitely postponed by the Provisional Electoral Council on 21 May due to international pressure from the Organisation of American States and threats of a boycott by the ruling Fanmi Lavalas, which claimed there had been fraud in the first round.

Tenure The parliament was sworn in on October 9, 1995. The majority in the parliament, led by Fanmi Lavalas, largely worked in opposition to the structural adjustment and privatization reforms supported by President René Préval. In addition, the parliament worked to delay Préval's nominations for prime minister in return for inclusion of Fanmi Lavalas appointments to cabinet posts.McKinley, James C., Jr. "Haitian Leader's Foes Raise the Specter of Dictatorship".
