Source: Wyclef Jean not on Haiti candidate list
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti hip-hop star Wyclef Jean is not on the list of approved candidates who satisfy legal requirements to run in a Nov. 28 presidential election, a member of the provisional electoral council said Thursday.
"He is not on the list as I speak," the council official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters. He said the country's electoral disputes bureau had ruled that Jean's candidacy did not meet several legal requirements.
The provisional electoral council was due to formally publish the list of approved candidates Friday.
Singer-songwriter Jean, 40, who is widely popular in his impoverished and earthquake-ravaged homeland, had filed documents with the council this month to run as a candidate for the November election. He was among 34 contenders for the presidency who filed initial candidacy bids.

FYI: Even though this thread was here first I've decided that I will contribute to the other thread about this same topic since it has a more descriptive title.

It was a joke to begin with. How could anyone vote for him in all seriousness? He's not even that articulate of a guy that I would be convinced to vote for him. At least some entertainers could fool me into casting a vote for them.

Well hopefully he keeps doing the work even though he won't have the official position.
He should also have started out as an apprentice under someone with experience first. Furthermore, he should have moved back for a minute to get a clear feel for the atmosphere. On top of that he spoke like an amateur and it did not help that everyone knows that he has no formal degree or licenses in anything. Hyde Park called this weeks ago. -

Wyclef Jean: I'm not giving up my bid for prez yet
(AP) – 55 minutes ago
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Hip-hop singer Wyclef Jean says he is not abandoning his presidential bid just yet and will send a lawyer to a Haitian court to appeal a decision rejecting his candidacy.
Speaking to The Associated Press from his home in Croix des Bouquets, Jean says lawyers will go to a Haitian court Monday to appeal with the national electoral dispute office.
Jean told the AP on Sunday that he has a document "which shows everything is correct" and that he and his aides "feel that what is going on here has everything to do with Haitian politics."
Jean's candidacy was rejected by the country's elections board Friday night, presumably because he did not meet residency requirements.
