Wyclef Announces End to Presidential Run
*Wyclef Jean is done trying to run for president in Haiti.
A statement sent today by his publicist says the singer is leaving Haitian politics and will instead devote his time to promoting a new album.
Jean’s candidacy ended last month when the Caribbean country’s eight-member provisional electoral council left him and more than a dozen other hopefuls off the ballot. Nineteen candidates were approved. No official reasons were given for the exclusions.
