Haiti election 2015

Here are two candidates of the same political parties, Alix Didier Fils-Aimé of Platform VERITE faces Alix Didier Fils-Aime who is also from Platform VERITE on the runoff election for West department.

Two electoral candidates for the Senate, Alix Didier Fils-Aime and Antonio Chéramy from the same political party, VERITE, are fighting with each other to run for the Senate as they are refusing to withdraw. These two candidates for the Western department registered under the same banner of TRUTH, have openly displayed their enmity to the local media. On September 8, 2015, TRUTH, the leading party in the upcoming Haiti election has announced that it was pulling itself out from the next month's legislative elections, because they considered their party was the primary victim of violence during the first round of voting in August .The popular singer Antonio Cheramy alias Don Kato has accused Alix Didier Fils-Aimé to be in reality a pawn of President Martelly. According to him, the TRUTH platform has not received any financial support after the exclusion of Jacky Lumarque. It is a matter of surprise to him how Alix Fils-Aime, a former president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is spending so much on his campaign. However, the fight between these two candidates from the same party is a matter of disgrace to the public.

Here is a picture where Candidate Sauveur Pierre Etienne was aggressed at Haiti State University during a campaign presentation

Professor Etienne, running for the Haitian presidency, was assailed by University of Haiti students on the UOH campus.

Etienne, representing Organization of People Struggling, spoke of UOH as ". . . a space where differing ideas can be presented in peace . . ." This provoked some students to throw chairs at Etienne.

The reaction points to Haiti's fragile electoral system, in which PEC President Opont is accused of operating a corrupt electoral process. Haitians demand Opont be removed immediately.

Renois has won the nomination by surpassing two other candidates-- Chavannes Jeune and Jean Paleme Mathurin.

Here is a picture of Radio personality Jacques Sampeur who is a candidate in Haiti presidential Election on 2015.

Jacques Sampeur, a presidential candidate from Konbit Liberasyon Ekonomik party is different from others in his league on many counts. While his other contenders are making a plethora of promises, he prefers to speak sensibly and identify the real deterrent causes, which if removed can make our lives easier. He believes his countrymen are matured enough to think and decide, but need some good representatives whom they can trust. He believes a good representative's agenda should be based on the following premises: modernizing agriculture to lower food cost, create quality education, rebuild poor neighborhoods, modernizing Haitian cities to reduce the load of population explosion in Port-au-prince, create environment to draw investment and tourism, mentor youth, facilitate wealth for the middle class, create an agency which will be dedicated to the improvement of Haitian-Dominican relationship. Jacques Sampeur is a radio personality and the director of ATV 42. He understands and admits that there are very few leaders who would ever want to achieve them other than making false promises, because they all run for power and nothing else.
