Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) — Haitian officials declared the country’s national elections a success — just hours after two-thirds of the candidates in the presidential race called for an annulment of the vote due to irregularities.
Pierre Opont, the director of Haiti’s main electoral body, told reporters Sunday night that the election had “successfully concluded.”
But he noted that 56 of the country’s 1,500 polling centers had reported “incidents,” and that the national police reported one death related to the election activities.
Hours before his announcement, two-thirds of the candidates — including one of the front-runners — denounced Sunday’s national elections and called for a complete annulment of the vote due to irregularities and ballot-box stuffing.
“I am asking my country’s citizens, I am asking the Conseil Electoral Provisoire, the government, and I’m telling the international community that as the leading candidate I’m asking for the formal cancellation of the elections,” lead candidate Mirlande Manigat told CNN.
