Wyclef Jean's intention to become the next President of Haiti has been denied after the election council disapproved his candidacy.  Total of  34 contenders are running  for the Haitian presidency but 15 candidates were rejected and 19 were approved.

Wyclef failed to satisfy legal residency requirements to run in his native country which is at least five years before the election.
