PORT-AU-PRINCE — Haiti's provisional electoral council ruled Friday that hip-hop star Wyclef Jean was not eligible to run as a presidential candidate for a Nov. 28 election.
Singer-songwriter Jean, 40, an international celebrity who is popular in his impoverished and earthquake-ravaged homeland, was left off the list of approved candidates published by the council.
A council member told Reuters Thursday that Jean did not meet several of the legal requirements to stand in the November election to choose a successor to President Rene Preval, who cannot run again after two terms.
