President Martelly signs agreement to end political stalemate

 Haiti’s outgoing President Michel Martelly on Saturday reached an agreement with parliament to form a caretaker government when he leaves power ton Sunday.

Media reports say under the agreement parliament will elect an interim president for a four-month term.

A presidential runoff due to be held last month was scrapped after opposition candidate Jude Celestin threatened to boycott the vote over allegations of fraud in the first round, and protesters took to the streets in force.
