Rival Candidates Claim Victory in Election Result Delay
I found this article from 1957, it's amazing how as time by the more things
stay the same..
Rival Candidates Claim Victory in Election
Result Delay
Published on Monday, 23 September 1957 Written by Samuel Maxime
On Monday, Haitian citizens tensely waited for the results of Sunday's
elections hoping that the next president could bring peace to the country. According to the Associated Press, before the counting of the votes even
began, Former Senator Louis Dejoie and his supporters threatened to burn
down Port-au-Prince if Dejoie did not come out the victor of the presidency. Rival presidential candidate, Dr. Francois Duvalier, a physician, claimed
victory in the election, as well. Due to long delays in the reporting from
tabulation centers in Port-au-Prince, no trending information will be
available until Wednesday.
No Enthusiasm for the Boycott
The third presidential candidate, Clement Jumelle, earlier on, called for a
boycott of the election claiming that there was fraud involved. This marked the first time women had the right to vote in Haiti, and
according to the Ministry of Justice, 81% of the 1.6 million registered
voters cast ballots. This would indicate that few heard the calls of
Jumelle. Since last December, Haiti has been plagued by election violence as it has
tried to find its leader. Provisional President Antonio Kebreau said that
the voting this time around was peaceful. There were very few incidents, one
was where a soldier shot down a voter who attacked him and two minor
incidents unrelated occurred in different parts of the country. Kebreau and two other men seized power on June 14 with a military junta and
2500 well trained soldiers and police.
Candidates Spar as Results are Delayed
The first data is expected to be known late Monday but with delays in
reporting at tabulation centers in Port-au-Prince, no real trend can be
determined until Wednesday. Duvalier, 48, is a doctor and has pledged honesty in government. He said he
would seek U.S. and U.N. aid in developing the nation's agricultural and
natural resources if elected. Duvalier began charging the Dejoie campaign of using large sums of money to
buy votes. Dejoie partisans returned charges at Duvalier claiming that the
military had rigged the election in Duvalier's favor. Dejoie, 61, is a mulatto plantation owner who promised industrial progress
through out his campaign. He campaigned saying that he would be able to get
$90 million in U.S. dollars to aid the country.
