In an audio message in Creole distributed to the Haitian media, disqualified Haiti presidential candidate Wyclef Jean, called on his supporters to “mobilize without let up” against the council’s decision, which struck down Jean’s candidacy Friday because he had not lived in Haiti for five consecutive years.

Wyclef Jean charged Monday that Haiti’s provisional election council (CEP) used “trickery” and violated the constitution to reject his candidacy for president.

“Even before our work began, friends in Haiti and abroad had warned me that much trickery would be used to block me. The result: CEP has proved it true,” he said.

“They violated the constitution to benefit their families and their friends who continue to live off the people’s money,” Jean said. “Are you going to continue to support people who do not respect the fundamental law of the country?”

“While you mobilize without let up to force them to respect your rights, I am going to continue to fly the flag of Haiti. Stay well, the work has just begun,” he said.
