Haiti election results raise questions in Caribbean
Bridgetown, Barbados, CANA - Questions are being raised
about the legitimacy of the mandate secured by Jean-
Bertrand Aristide at the November 26 presidential poll
in Haiti. Among those raising questions is the former
Prime Minister of St. Lucia, Sir John Compton, who
headed a Caribbean Community (CARICOM) delegation to
Haiti for the election. Sir John said that there was a
very low voter response and at best it would seem that
Aristide had secured merely 15 to 20 per cent of the
popular votes.
