Congresswoman Frederica Wilson expresses approval of postponement of Haiti election

Congresswoman Frederica Wilson for South Florida has expressed her approval of the Haitian government’s recent decision to postpone the presidential run-off, and investigate the legitimacy of the elections. Rep. Wilson said she had recommended the delay, based on input from South Florida’s Haitian Diaspora.

"I am happy to announce that the presidential run-off election that was scheduled to take place in Haiti on Sunday, December 27, has been postponed." said Wilson

"This was the number one recommendation I made in a letter sent last week to Secretary of State John Kerry, based on input I received from South Florida’s large Haitian constituency, which had expressed concerns about the credibility of the first round held in October."
