The celebrated musician Wyclef Jean was in hiding for several days in Port au Prince, Haiti, because he was receiving death threats. The hip hop musician aspires to be President of Haiti, but still his candidacy and 30 other politicians have not been accepted by the electoral tribunal.
The hip hop musician Wyclef Jean said he was hiding because he received death threats as he and more than 30 potential candidates for the presidency of Haiti await authorization to participate in the elections.
Threats reported in a series of emails to the AP, which revealed few details. Jean said that he was ordered out of Haiti and is hidden in a secret location in the Caribbean country.
The musician, born in Haiti, said he did not know if the nation's electoral commission, known as CEP, approve his candidacy, but there have been questions about whether it meets the residency requirements to contest the November election.
"We hope the decision of the CEP, but the laws of the Haitian Constitution must be respected," said one of several emails
