The 30 Senators was present. The G16 has contributed largely to the victory of Dr. Conille, 15 of the 16 Senators have given a positive vote [Moïse Jean-Charles dissented and voted against], the Senator Youri Latortue and the Senator Edwin Zenny have also voted for, thus giving a majority vote for the ratification of the Prime Minister.
