Haitian President Michel Martelly has reached a deal with the senate and
the chamber of deputies to avert a political crisis over long-delayed
elections which sparked mass protests
Lawmakers will now have to sign off on the deal.If it is not passed, Haiti could be left without a functioning government once the mandates expire on January 12,2015
Under the agreement, Haiti's deputies would be extended in their posts until April 24,2015 and senators until September 09,2015
The deal comes just over two weeks after Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe resigned in the wake of violent protest at the delayed elections
