Wide Discrepancy in Preliminary Voting Results Cause Violent Protests

The demonstration started out as peaceful, but by the time demonstrators got to the neighborhood of Delmas they came face-to-face with pro-government backers, who hurled rocks at them. One man was reportedly killed and another seriously hurt by a machete wound to the head.

Poll conductors Igarape Institute (II) found during exit polls 82% of voters thought ". . . this election is fair, there is no fraud." But when the preliminary results were published the same sampling of voters, 90% of them, said they thought it was an unfair election.

Haitian Kreyol:
Lapolis anba lòd sevè pou anpeche yon gwo pwotestasyon rive Petion-Ville. Plizyè milye moun yo lòt fwa ankò nan lari pou mande anilasyon eleksyon ki sot pase an Ayiti a. Youn nan bagay ki diferan tan sa a, kounye a yo an favè yon gouvènman tranzisyon pou ranplase aktyèl Gouvènman Martelly-Paul. Pa gen okenn ensidan vyolans ki rapòte; sepandan foul moun yo tet dwat pou ale nan konfwontasyon avèk Lapolis. Pwotestatè yo nan direksyon pou local CEP a ki nan nan Petion-Ville. Nou aprann ke Lapolis te resevwa lòd pou pa kite pwotestasyon an rive jwenn local CEP a nan Petion-Ville.

Pwoblem pap fini nan peyi sa!
