There was a fear that if Jude Celestin was qualified to participate in the runoff election, there would be violence in the streets. Celestin has become increasingly unpopular due to his close association with the Haitian president Rene Preval. Mirlande Manigat, the 70 year old former First Lady, will now have a chance to prove to he nation that she in fact has the energy to run Haiti.

I cannot believe rene preval would actually do this to his country, after what these people went through on January 12, the last thing haiti needs is another leader that don't care only see himself and the title.
It's a shame to see that our young one future might end up in the hands of that man. In experience and lack of there off. I hope that other countries that had step up to help will continue to so, and also do not let his government in charge of any
Jude Celestin wouldn't event be at the fourth place if the election wasn't a mess. They manage to Get him on second tour to beat Mme Manigat and become president.
There's no way celestin could have more vote than Martely.
Those people on the street actually mean what?
a very big part of the majority.
