Haiti's ex-president Martelly registers as candidate for upcoming election

Haiti's former president Michel Martelly has registered as a candidate for the country's upcoming election, scheduled to take place on December 13. This marks a significant development in Haiti's electoral process, which has been stalled for 10 years. Martelly's candidacy is notable given the country's history of political instability and the fact that Haiti's electoral council has recently lifted a ban on candidates sanctioned by foreign countries. This change in policy may allow other previously disqualified candidates to enter the election.

Why it matters

Haiti's former president Michel Martelly is running for office again, which may lead to changes in the country's economic policies. The election outcome is uncertain and may impact investor sentiment.
