Updates on the current political situation in Haiti

Hi team,

I write for The Meliorist, which is the University of Lethbridge's independent student newspaper. Here's a story I filed this week about the debacle surrounding the November presidential elections and what's happening in regards to the runoff election.

Also, here's an update from Metro News on reports that Jude Celestin (handpicked successor of current president Rene Preval) will be withdrawing from the runoff.

Looking forward to the trip - just over a week away!
