Wyclef Jean’s Presidential Run DEAD and out of gas
By Nick J - Thu Aug 19, 9:12 pm
Wyclef Jean’s presidential hopes appear to have been killed softly. The Haitian hip-hop star’s name does not appear on the list of approved candidates for the country’s upcoming election, Reuters reported Thursday, quoting a source.
“He is not on the list as I speak,” said an election council official who had seen the list that is set to be made public Friday.
Jean, 40, filed papers this month stating his intention to run for president of his earthquake-ravaged homeland. But questions were quickly raised about whether Jean met the country residency requirements. He was born in Haiti, but left the country when he was 9 and grew up in New York and New Jersey. Others also pointed to many irregularities in the accounting for Jean’s charity Yele.
