Haiti: One of DEA’s most wanted elected to office
According to preliminary results from Haiti’s 20 November presidential and partial legislative elections, which show an outright presidential victory for Jovenel Moïse of former President Michel Martelly’s (2011-2016) Parti Haïtien Tèt Kale (PHTK) party, among those elected to the 30-member senate is Guy Philippe, who led the armed uprising in February 2004 that toppled populist former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide (1991, 1994-1996, 2001-2004).
