Presidential elections will be held in Haiti on 25 October 2015, alongside local elections and the second round of the legislative elections.[1] Incumbent President Michel Martelly is constitutionally barred from running.

Candidates

Seventy candidates are currently in the race, including 64 men and six women.[2] Two candidates are running as independents, Mario Andresol and Diony Monestime.[2] As of 28 May 2015, 41 challenges had been filed against 23 of the 70 candidates, including Andresol and former Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe.[3] The Departmental Bureau of Electoral Disputes heard those disputes, and will decide whether those individuals will be excluded from the presidential race.[4]

The final list of 58 candidates was published on 12 June,[5] however on the following days 2 candidates were removed: Jacky Lumarque (Verité) and Level Francois (Parti de la Diaspora Haitienne pour Haiti), making a new total of 56 candidates.[6]
