Haiti’s controversial presidential election is headed to a runoff vote between government-backed candidate Jude Celestin and former first lady Mirlande Manigat. On Tuesday, Haitian election officials said Celestin had slightly edged Haitian musician Michel Martelly to advance to the second round. Supporters of Martelly rallied in the streets of Port-au-Prince in the latest protest against the vote. Twelve of the initial 18 candidates have called for the vote’s annulment.
