WYCLEF JEAN has gone into hiding following alleged death threats as he awaits an official announcement on whether he can run in Haiti’s November presidential election.
The ex-Fugees star said he was at a secret location in Haiti in defiance of threats to leave the country, but revealed few details about who may be responsible for the alleged intimidation.
A list of candidates who meet constitutional requirements to lead the earthquake-hit country – requirements that could disqualify Jean – was due to be published yesterday.
However, officials said several unnamed candidates remained under review and that the announcement would not be made until tomorrow.
Legal requirements and political intrigue could sink his hopes of swapping a recording studio for power in a broken country.
