Jude Celestin out of election, leaving Jovenel Moise to run against himself

There is something that people in Haiti often say: "Pwoblem Pap Fini nan peyi sa". It translates as "Problem will never end in this country". That could't be more true than now with what is going on with the presidential election. To demonstrate how we (Haitians) have the capacity to create KO, just 10 days before a scheduled presidential election, one candidate has decided to make it official that he will not be participating. In an interview at radio Kiskeya on January 14, Jude Celestin made it clear that he will not be one of the presidential candidates for the January 24 elections.

That may have been a strategy all alone by the LAPEH camp of Jude Celestin to let all the preparations in pace before making the announcement. In another way, to leave no time for the CEP to select another candidate to replace Jude or to print new ballots before the election. We must say that this strategy works. Just within 10 remaining days before the election, new electoral bulletins can not be printed, a new candidate doesn't have enough time to mount a good campaign against Jovenel Moise. In brief, it seem like Jude Celestin is the winner after all. He got both the executive government and the CEP exactly where he wanted them to be, in a corner with now room to maneuver.

Haitian Kreyol:

Jude Celestin soti nan eleksyon an, kite Jovenel Moise nan kampay ak tèt li

Gen yon bagay ke moun ki nan Ayiti di souvan: "Pwoblem Pap Fini Nan Peyi sa". Sa pa te kapab plis vre pase kounye a
ak sa ki ape pase ak eleksyon pwezidansyèl la. Sa demontre ki jan nou (Ayisyen) gen kapasite pou kreye KO, jis 10 jou anvan yon eleksyon prezidansyèl ki pwograme, yonn nan kandida yo deside fè li ofisyèl pou di ke li pa pral patisipe. Nan yon entèvyou li te bay nan radyo Kiskeya 14 janvye, Jude Celestin te fè li klè ke li pa pral yonn nan kandida prezidansyèl yo nan eleksyon 24 Janvye 24 yo.

Sa te kapab yon estrateji tout pou kont li pa kan LAPEH ak Jude Celestin pou kite tout preparasyon yo te fini fet anvan yo fè anons sa. Nan yon lòt fason, yo kite pou pa gen tan pou CEP a ta chwazi yon lòt kandida pou ranplase Jude oswa fè nouvo bilten vòt avan eleksyon an. Nou dwe di ke estrateji sa a ap travay. Jis nan 10 jou ki rete avan eleksyon an, nouvo bilten elektoral pa kapab enprime, yon kandida nouvo pa gen ase tan pou kanpay yon bon kampay kont Jovenel Moise.

An tou, li sanble tankou ke Jude Celestin se gayan an apre tout. Li mete tou de, gouvènman egzekitif ak CEP a egzakteman kote li te vle mete yo, nan yon kwen ki pa genyen espas pou manevwe.

Ki sa ou panse?

It makes no sense to a lot of people, how could Celestin be happy and believe he has the Cep where he wanted them by excluding himself from the
