Charles Henri Baker abandoned dream to become president of Haiti

in 2005, Charles Henri Baker and his Respè coalition received 8.24 percent of the vote. President Rene Preval was elected that year for 5 years. In 2010 he ran again but was not in favorable position to win. His latest attempt was the last election when he once again came up short.

"Mandate for Cash"
In regard to the the scandal with Mandates, Mr. Baker did not deny that some mandates from his political party Respè were being sold as well. He accused the CEP for the lack of control and not respecting the electoral Decree.

"Mwen Pa nan Batay"
Baker realized that he doesn't have any chance of acceding to power in Haiti. The real fight is between the two candidates who came first and second, he said. If you are not one of the first two, you are not in it. He also admitted that his greatest accomplishment was to put in place Respè; that Respè is now a major political party covering the entire country. Baker also envision a new candidate representing his political party in 2021 presidential election.
