Will Guy Philippe return to Haitian politics or Can he? Some people are wondering

The Senator-Elect of Grand'Anse, once-prominent figure in Haitian politics had been convicted in 2017 for accepting bribes from drug traffickers according to news reports about his arrest and conviction.

In 2017, Guy Philippe was arrested just days before his scheduled swearing-in as a senator of the Republic. Accused of accepting bribes from drug traffickers, Philippe's image took a severe blow.

After spending six years behind bars, Guy Philippe's impending release has sparked both anticipation and controversy. According to journalist Guerrier Henry, Philippe is expected to be released in the first week of September 2023 and will return to Haiti.
