Elections in Haiti
Elections in Haiti gives information on election and election results in Haiti.
The current president is René Préval, who received 51 percent of the votes in the 2005 elections. On April 4, 2011, Michel Joseph Martelly won the Haitian Presidential elections, according to preliminary results,[1] and is due to be sworn in as the next President of Haiti, if his election is validated by the official results on April 16.
The first elections since the 2004 Haiti rebellion that deposed Jean-Bertrand Aristide were held in February 2006.
Latest elections
The latest presidential election took place on November 28, 2010, with a run-off election taking place on March 20, 2011.
As no candidate received a majority of the vote cast in the first-round election, a second round was held on March 20, 2011. Originally, it was to be between Mirlande Manigat and Jude Célestin, who were the two who received the most votes. However, protests took place claiming that the election results were fraudulent. As a result, the electoral commission removed Célestin from the race, allowing Michel Martelly to face Manigat in the March run-off.[2]
