PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – Twelve of 19 presidential candidates yesterday called for the elections to be declared null and void following allegations of ballot tampering.
The disgruntled candidates met behind closed doors following allegations of fraud.
Presidential front runner Mirlande Manigat joined her colleagues in asking the Provisional Electoral Council to scrap the poll due to widespread irregularities.
The formal announcement came from Josette Bijoux during a press conference shortly after 2:00pm local time.
The candidates were met with rousing applause and shouts of “arreta Preval” or “arrest Preval.”
Bijoux was flanked by 11 of her opponents.
The candidates have charged that the alleged ballot tampering was orchestrated to favour Jude Celistin of the ruling Inite party.
Declare poll null and void!
