A friend of one of the guys came to the house with a t-shirt for the Inite candidate, Jude Celestin. His campaign budget had deep pockets! He used airplanes with banners and helicopter to drop leaflets to people below. He also advertised heavily on the radio stations. He is the leader of the Inite party that the president Rene Preval formed.
Wilson Jeudy is the mayor of Delmas. On of the mayors' bureaus is right here on Delmas 31. He ran for president in the elections.
Michel Martelly, known by his entertainer name as "Sweet Mickey" had the support of the youth and a lot of other people too! He had a large following at the polls!
Posters of candidates are everywhere around the city. The Fraternite (translated as brotherhood) statue at Gerard Bataille on Delmas 33 was plastered with posters of different candidates. It wasn't a "brotherly" or an election of fraternity come election day! You'll see why. I took lots of photos on election day in our running around the city and will publish them in groups of 30. Unfortunately lots of events happened on election day and the election results may be tarnished because of the events that happened on Sunday November 28th.
