Aristide party barred from Haiti's February ballot, Reuters (2009)
Former President Aristide's Lavalas Family party will be barred from the legislative elections scheduled for February 28, 2009. The reason behind this decision is that the party has not met all legal requirements. Some sources claim that the decision was based on suspicions that the signature sent by fax by Aristide, who is in exile in South Africa, authorizing local representatives to register the party, was falsified.
