Why I Was Disqualified As A Haiti Presidential Candidate, Raymond Joseph Explains

Former Haiti ambassador to the United States and presidential candidate, Raymond Joseph, explains why he and other presidential candidates were unfairly disqualified from running in a recent article published by the Christian Science Monitor.

In the article Raymond Joseph says...

"The explanation for my disqualification... is that I did not properly discharge my responsibilities when I resigned from office as Haiti’s Ambassador to the United States on August 1. This is untrue; a charge which could be immediately disregarded if the CEP was willing to review signed and dated correspondence between Haiti’s foreign minister and me."

"More troubling to me and others however, is that other Haitian government officials, some of whom did not even resign their official posts, were promptly qualified without such criteria."

"Haiti has failed the first fundamental test in holding credible elections – certifying candidates, and affording each due process under the law, equally and without discrimination."

"The CEP has historically interpreted the [Haitian] constitution at will."

"I have learned that... the CEP is now reviewing my candidacy, along with the 14 other disqualified candidates, but we have no confidence that the review will be any less arbitrary."

"The [CEP] officials are aware that with a November 28 deadline approaching, all they need to do is run out the clock."

"If the selection of [presidential] candidates is not transparent, how can one expect that the election will be open and representative?"
