The Haitian Tèt Kale Party (French: Parti Haïtien Tèt Kale, PHTK) is a Haitian political party. Tèt Kale means "Balded Head" in Haitian Creole.[3]
History
The party was formally constituted on August 16, 2012, although President Michel Martelly is not a member of the party, the PHTK had affinities with the government.[2]
For the 2015 presidential election Jovenel Moise was presented as the party's candidate. For the 2015 parliamentary elections, the party presented 11 candidates for the Senate and 99 for the Chamber of Deputies.[4][5] On the first round of the legislative elections four PHTK candidates were immediately elected.[6]
