The following is a list of members and leaders of the 46th Legislature of the Haitian Parliament. The parliamentary elections, held on 25 June, 13 August and 17 September 1995, were won by Lavalas. Voter turnout was just 31.09% for the parliamentary elections and 27.8% for the presidential elections.[1] [2] 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.[3] 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.
The 46th Parliament was sworn in on Oct 9, 1995 and was adjourned on Jan 11, 1999.
