Youri Latortue admits that at present the different views on the strategy to adopt towards the electoral crisis. Latortue he believes that an evaluation process is to confirm or disprove the validity of the election on November 28. However Senator Latortue said he was ready to seek annulment of the last election if they were characterized by massive fraud. He is convinced that a victory in a disputed election would undermine the legitimacy of elected officials.
