Former Wyclef Supporters Now Endorse Jude Celestin For President

When Wyclef Jean was running for president, he was backed by 'Jen Kore Jen' , a grass-roots youth movement in Haiti. The latest news is that the Haitian youth movement plans to support candidate Jude Celestin for president.

So now the question is...

Is Wyclef Jean endorsing Jude Celestin?

Here is what Wyclef said to the Miami Herald on this issue:

"Jèn Kore Jèn was one of the minimal forces that did an alliance with Fas a Fas, If they feel whatever candidate they chose is going to work for them, they have to do that. Myself and my movement, Fas a Fas, what we are trying to do, it's bigger than Jèn Kore Jèn....I don't see it going downhill from here."

Wyclef did say 'minimal'...

Nan lang titid, sa vle di... "Yon ti minorite tou ZWIT..."

What do you think about that?

How big is Jen Kore Jen and are they big enough to swing the Haiti elections?

This is not true. Wyclef never said for people to vote for Jude Celestin.

The person who is running the rumors said it was a wyclef "SUPPORTER" not Wyclef ok.

Now, if it is indeed a Wyclef "SUPPORTER".

Wyclef has no control over any voter.

That would be that supporter's

Why would Wyclef supports the same person who booted him out?

If Wyclef supports Jude Celestin, it will be suicidal for him to run 5 years from now. He will be tinted and be considered part of the corruption gang.
