photos - elections - part 2

Yves Cristalin is the leader of the Lavni political party. One day his representatives came through the neighborhood plastering posters everywhere. Several were plastered onto our wall. I knew it was best to wait until the elections are over before repairing the street side of our front wall!

Yves Cristalin has also what I think is the best poster of all the candidates. His campaign slogan was " Kris can; let's reconstruct Haiti; meet under the flag of "papa" Dessaline"

The outside of Lavni's party headquarters had several painted designs. The artist made some neat designs. Lavni headquarters is located on Delmas 31.

Another of the paintings on the wall says "together, together, let's lift high the flag of our country".

This is a scary looking picture. The man is screaming "Lavni is for everybody with Kristalen"

The crowd passed in front of the house heading down towards Cite-aux-Cayes.

One of the crowd members had this "Fas a Fas" (translated as Face to Face) t-shirt on. This man is a Wyclef Jean supporter.

Later in the day this smaller crowd went up Delmas 31 past our street corner.

The guys told me that the name of the band accompanying the crowd was the "Surprise Band". Saturday was a day of surprises! The children enjoyed watching the bands go by through our neighborhood.

This group was the stragglers following behind the main group. Manu was so excited he ran after the band in his bare feet!
