Twelve of 18 presidential candidates called on Haiti’s electoral council to annul today’s election on fraud allegations, as some people weren’t allowed to cast ballots for a leader to spearhead the nation’s reconstruction after January’s earthquake.
Michel Martelly, a pop star-turned-candidate who is among the frontrunners, led a protest at the provisional electoral council after most of the 18 candidates released a joint statement demanding the vote be thrown out, a Martelly spokeswoman said.
