Inite
Inite is a centre-left, social-democratic political party in Haiti. Its founder and leader, René Préval, served as the president of Haiti from 2006 to 2011.History
The party was created simply as Inite in late 2009 as a successor of Lespwa, a political platform created by René Préval during his presidential candidacy in 2006. In November 2009 Lespwa was dissolved and merged into the new party, which included some factions from the National Christian Union for the Reconstruction of Haiti, the Movement for National Reconstruction, the Country Organization Movement, and the Open the Gate Party.
In the 2010 elections Jude Célestin was its presidential candidate, finishing second but he did not advance to the second round because of allegations made to the Provisional Electoral Council. In the parliamentary election, it gained 35 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 11 in the Senate.
The party was renamed in April 2015 as Patriotic Unity, after the merger with two other political groups. At almost the same time, René Préval and his supporters founded Truth, a new political party. Both parties are going to compete in the 2015 parliamentary elections in separate ways. Inite Patriyotik presented 8 candidates for the Senate and 39 for the Chamber of Deputies.
