Wyclef Jean not on official list of approved candidates in Haiti’s presidential election: official

Wyclef Jean‘s presidential hopes appear to have been killed softly.

The Haitian hip-hop star’s name does not appear on the list of approved candidates for the country’s upcoming election, Reuters reported Thursday, quoting a source.

“He is not on the list as I speak,” said an election council official who had seen the list that is set to be made public Friday.

Jean, 40, filed papers this month stating his intention to run for president of his earthquake-ravaged homeland.

But questions were quickly raised about whether Jean met the country residency requirements.

He was born in Haiti, but left the country when he was 9 and grew up in New York and New Jersey.

Others also pointed to many irregularities in the accounting for Jean’s charity Yele.

  1. Tout ralemenvini sa yo se manniget vakabon nan Kwabosal ki rive al chita nan pale nasyonal pou egzekite plan Jenosid ak kraze peyi pou tranzaksyon okipasyon de grenn goch la, nan peyi Dayiti rive konsonmen.

    Pesonn pa we poukisa tout radot sa yo? Se yon fason pou yo kapab atire atansyon pep la sou aktivite lekseyon chanpwel pou jouke kriminel notwa yo sou pouvwa a, pou yo kapab genyen machin avek plak ofisyel pou distribye dwog epi pou mache ranmase lajan kidnaping nan san lapolis pap gen dwa pou kanpe epi fouye kagezon yo. Tout pale anpil sa yo, se yon fason pou yo pouse moun konprann ke eleksyon-okipasyon an, se wout lejitim ki bay malandren yo dwa pou yo fe raket epi vann tout riches peyi a san pesonn pa gen dwa pou poze yo kesyon sou move tranzaksyon yo.

    Dekilakyel de eleksyon Preval ap oganize la a? Daye, denye jou sa yo demontre nan ki nivo pep Ayensyen an Zonbifye, paske, omwen, bann lide-lede yo, kisa nou di nan koze kote Preval ranplase konstitisyon an nan fason li aji epi okenn moun pa reyaji. Toutotan ke se pa mwen menm menm ki vin fe kichoy nan peyi sa a, pou mare epi flanke vakabon nan kacho pou fe yo ret nan wol yo pou moun serye kapab vin devlope Ayiti, se anyen ki pap janm rive fet. Tirene preval fe lemond antye ap gade nou kwochi epi yo we nou led.

    Kominote entenasyonal la menm se papale, paske, yo tout fout led.
    Nenpot moun ki respekte tet yo pa ta dwe pete bay malandren sa yo santi menm jan sa ta dwe fet pou Tirene ak akolit li yo. Tan selman, mwen pral pran kat pelouz mwen pou gade kiles k ap fouke Tirene preval anvan lontan pou nou rive gen Lape.

  2. Lets hope the threats from King Kino were just hot air, because if Haiti is harmed by you……. peace will never grace our door..

  3. brother wyclef dont give up no fight,haitian in beleave in you we not gonna take any president,we are ready see how we gonna change haiti.
