HAITIAN PREZ Dems move focus to Nov vote
KILLED
And during an attempted coup by
a Muslim faction in Trinidad in the
summer of 1990, Prime Minister Ray
Robinson was shot in the leg when the
rebels had invaded parliament during a
Friday sitting of the house. Robinson
survived the leg wound and continued
on as prime minister. These violent
incidents against leaders are among the
most serious on record. Assassinations
are rare.
Browne said the “violence in Haiti
had destabilized the country and had
made it literally ungovernable to all.
Everyone was susceptible, even the disabled
and now the president has paid
the ultimate sacrifice with his own life.
The situation there was of grave significance
to us as a region and we hope all
can be done to prepare for free and fair
elections. This is an unfortunate situation.”
French and Creole-speaking Haiti
is the 15th and last nation to join the
largely English-speaking bloc of former
British colonies back in 2002 but frequent
bouts of political instability have
worked against its full participation in
the region.
Browne said Moise had flunked participation
in this week’s summit by

saying that he was in the process of
appointing a new prime minister. It is
unclear whether his death would prevent
the new number two from being
sworn in.
The Miami Herald, meanwhile,
reported that the gunmen had claimed
to be DEA agents but officials said they
were in fact mercenaries. Acting Prime
Minister Claude Joseph called the attack
an “odious, inhuman and barbaric act.
The security situation in the country is
under the control of the national police
and the Haitian Armed Forces,” he said
as he appealed for calm.

“As our 110th Mayor, Eric will usher
in a new era of recovery by delivering
justice, safety and equity to the people,”
continued Bichotte Hermelyn,
stating that “while we wait for certified
results, we also congratulate
mayoral candidates Kathryn Garcia
and Maya Wiley on running successful
campaigns and breaking barriers.
“We look forward to building a
stronger, more inclusive city for everyone,”
she said.
After the Board of Elections counted
118,000 absentee ballots on Tuesday,
Adams’ significant lead on Election
Night, Jun. 22, shrank to a single
percentage point, or an 8,400-vote
lead over his closest rival, Garcia, the
city’s former sanitation commissioner.
But it was enough to hold her off.
“While there are still some very
small amounts of votes to be counted,
the results are clear: An historic,
diverse, five-borough coalition led by
working-class New Yorkers has led
us to victory in the Democratic primary
for mayor of New York City,” said
Adams in a statement Tuesday night.
Garcia and Wiley, the third-place
finisher and former counsel to incumbent
Mayor Bill de Blasio, are yet to
concede defeat.
Garcia’s spokeswoman, Lindsey
Green, said in a statement Tuesday
night that Garcia’s campaign was
“currently seeking additional clarity
on the number of outstanding ballots
and are committed to supporting the
Democratic nominee.”
While expressing gratitude to her
supporters in a statement Tuesday
night, Wiley blasted the BOE for
its snafus in relaying the Primary
results.
“We will have more to say about the
next steps shortly,” she said. “Today, we
simply must recommit ourselves to a
reformed Board of Elections and build
new confidence in how we administer
voting in New York City.
“New York City’s voters deserve better,
and the BOE must be completely
remade following what can only be
described as a debacle,” she added.
With New York City voting overwhelmingly
Democratic, political
pundits say Adams is highly likely to
beat his Republican challenger, Curtis
Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian
Angels, in the November General
Elections.
Adams said in his statement that
his focus now is on being triumphant
in the general elections.
“Now we must focus on winning in
November, so that we can deliver on
the promise of this great city for those
who are struggling, who are underserved
and who are committed to a
safe, fair, affordable future for all New
Yorkers,” he said.
