Wyclef Reportedly Excluded From Haiti Presidential Candidates List
Wyclef Jean’s name will reportedly be gone from November’s ballot in Haiti’s presidential election.
The Grammy-winning Fugees star did not satisfy legal requirements to run in the Nov. 28 election, Reuters reported Thursday, citing a member of the provisional electoral council.
“He is not on the list as I speak,” the council official told Reuters, with the provisional electoral council set to announce the list of approved candidates on Friday.
The “Gone Till November” singer released a statement late Thursday asserting that “no decisions” had been announced.
“He is concerned about the people of Haiti and the country’s future, and is cautiously optimistic about rulings on his candidacy, expected tomorrow,” Jean said. “Wyclef Jean puts the needs for health, wellness, and future prosperity of Haiti’s citizens first and foremost.
