HAITI: And then there were 58…
Haiti’s provisional electoral council (CEP) has published its final approved list of 58 candidates who will take part in the first round of presidential elections scheduled for 25 October. The move has been hailed by international figures like Sandra Honoré, the head of the United Nations (UN) Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (Minustah). However the exclusion of high-profile figures like former prime minister, Laurent Lamothe (2012-2014), who was hoping to run for President Michel Martelly’s former party Platfòm Peyizan (formerly Repons Peyizan) has proven highly controversially, laying the CEP open to accusations of political manoeuvring.
