Here are three major candidates in the Platform VERITE as they have decided to withdraw from Electoral Process.

On Tuesday, September 8, after numerous reported incidents of violence and fraud occurred during the first round of election on August 9, with the extremely low voter turnout, the 'Platform Vérité', the leading platform of various political groups co-founded by René Préval, has decided to withdraw itself from the electoral race. In an official statement, signed by its General Coordinator Génard Joseph, the platform has communicated its withdrawal decision because 'Platform Vérité' was the primary victim of August 9 electoral mess. They have also informed that the country needs a "good" electoral council in order to "run a good election." In 25 of the 119 races for deputy, repolling has been announced. A large cadre of candidates had taken to the streets in protest against the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) and as per their claim the government was the mastermind behind the mass rigging of August 9.

Here is a picture of the Presidential candidate for Haiti in 2015, Jean Chevalier Sanon.

Presidential candidate Jean Chevalier Sanon has been disqualified. He has violated Article 135 of the Constitution by holding a Canadian passport and retaining his Canadian citizenship.

The Constitution is clear a candidate cannot hold dual citizenship. They must be a Haitian only without ". . . any other nationality at the time of registration."

The electoral Council under its protocol, will turn his case over to a criminal court to be reviewed.

Here is a picture of Ernst Jeudy, Candidate for Deputy in Delmas.

Ernst Jeudy, ending up in second place during first-round voting, has been exposed as a former drug dealer. In 1987 a half pound of cocaine was discovered in his bag at Miami International Airport. Political observers say he should be disqualified from participating any further in elections.

The bigger issue is PEC should be conducting background checks on all candidates. Pundits say many politicians with arrest records have been elected to office only to raid government coffers.

Here is a picture of candidate for deputy for Pétion-ville, Jerry Tardieu, VERITE delivering a message to a crowd.

Jerry Tardieu, the candidate for deputy for Pétion-ville, from VERITE party, has challenged the first round of the 2015 legislative elections result published and displayed in the Departmental Electoral Office West by the Provisional Electoral Council. As per his statement, a tabulation of the minutes (procès-verbaux) in his possession, suggests that he has received 34.59% of the votes against his nearest rival's 8.54%. Thus he was ahead by 26.05% vote, confirming his victory with over 25% lead. Thus it differs from the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) figure which states 22.05% lead out of 30.86% of votes in possession of Tardieu. The Electoral Decree states that, in a contest for election of Deputy, if a candidate is not a holder of absolute majority votes, such candidate may be proclaimed as a winner if his lead is over 25% than his closest opponent. Thus, Jerry Tardieu has reasons for unhappiness.

Here is the picture of Dr. Maryse Narcisse, presidential candidate for Fanmi Lavalas

On Friday, August 21st, Dr. Maryse Narcisse the presidential candidate from 'Fanmi Lavalas Party' was welcomed by a delegation at the Fort Lauderdale Airport before her 48 hour visit to meet and interact with people in South Florida. During her visit in Miami, Dr. Narcisse was accompanied by the Senator of Northeast, Jean-Baptiste Bien-Aimé and Lesly Voltaire, former Minister under the governments of Aristide. This medical doctor turned politician is perhaps one of the smartest people running for the presidential election who has seen how the country has been ruined by politicians over the past 4 decades. She left her thriving medical practice to join politics. People love her for her charming and humble personality and because of her status as a healthcare professional, she knows well how to get well acquainted and accepted in every section of the society, especially in rallies among common people, professionals, religious societies, businesses and other politicians.
