Haiti faces one-horse race as opposition boycotts presidential vote

PORT-AU-PRINCE, (Reuters) – Haiti’s opposition presidential candidate Jude Celestin has announced he will not take part in a runoff election because he does not have faith in the process, in a move that could mean a shoe-in for the ruling party on Jan. 24.

Celestin said he would tell election authorities not to put his name on the ballot for an election in the poor Caribbean nation that he says is fraught with irregularities.
